Ryazan, Russia

While Russia has generous state maternity benefits and leave (over six months at 100% pay), the country is suffering from an underpopulation crisis. This has prompted Russian President Medvedev to increase regulations over abortion. Russia has one of the world’s highest abortion rates, with 1.714 million births in 2008 and 1.234 million abortions. Russia comes in at 38 on the Mother’s Index.

Khmer Wedding

Traditional Cambodian weddings are intricate affairs that consist of multiple ceremonies lasting three days and three nights. The wedding begins with the groom and his family traveling to the bride’s home bearing gifts to the bride’s family as dowry. Family members and friends are introduced, and wedding rings exchanged. Customarily, three traditional songs accompany this first segment; the first song announcing the arrival of the groom and the next is on the presentation of the dowry followed by a final song to invite the elders to chew Betel Nut, an age-old Khmer tradition. Then it is the Tea Ceremony, at which the bride and groom offer tea to the spirits of their ancestors.
