3 Countries Where Women Take More Than One Husband

There is a natural order that follows marriage. 

What we know is that it is the man that is supposed to woo, engage and marry the woman. Not the other way round.

But the fact is, it is not every part of the world that follows this order. 

These parts, practice something known as Polyandry.

Polyandry is when a woman chooses to marry as many husbands she pleases, without being questioned. 

3 known countries that practice this act are:

India

In Kinnaur, Himachal a minority of the people justify and practice Polyandry. These people claim to be the descendants of the Pachi Pandavas, 5 brothers who were husbands to a woman named Draupadi daughter of King Panchala.

So, being descendants they also must carry on this tradition.

Polyandry is also practiced in South India amongst the Toda tribe of Nilgiris, Nanjanad Vellala of Travancore and some Nair caste systems.

It is prevalent in parts of North India by Paharis in the Jaunsarbawar region.

Tibet, China

Tibet a largely autonomous region in the Nepal parts of China and India still practice Fraternal Polyandry.

That is, two or more brothers are married to the same woman and they have equal "sexual access to her".

In Tibet, polyandry is associated with Partible paternity, the event that a child can have more than one father.

They usually practice it if the family is poor and can't divide their properties amongst the offsprings of separate fathers. So they keep their small farmlands and properties big by getting married to the same woman.

Kenya

Though not common custom, the Kenyan laws don't explicitly forbid Polyandry and legal action can't be taken against people who practice it.

In August 2013 two men entered an agreement to be husbands to a woman they were both in love with.
