Woman marries to many men sharing of one wife in many husbands polyandry in india weird tradition

Weird Tradition: The world is very big and people in every corner have their own traditions and customs. Some customs are observed only around us and some are such that we are stunned to hear them. You would often see only women following such traditions. For example, in African tribes, women have to be beaten by men and it is not customary to wear clothes. However, the custom that we are going to tell you today is different from all these.

You will be surprised to know that such traditions are found not only in far-flung tribes but also in our country, which are very strange from the point of view of women. There is a lot of talk about the rights of women and their equality with men. Although you would hardly know that in some places in our country even today women can marry many men.

One woman has many husbands
You must have heard about kings and emperors having many wives in the olden times, but till today only one such example is found, when a woman had many husbands. This example is of Mahabharata period. Panchali i.e. Draupadi was married to five Pandavas and she remained as their wife. Even today the practice of polyandry is going on in some parts of Himachal Pradesh and Kerala. Here a woman is married to many men and she lives with all the men by harmonizing the time and gives birth to children from them.

This practice is still prevalent in many parts
This custom exists in different forms in different parts of the country. The practice of polyandry is prevalent in the tribal areas of South India, especially in the Toda tribe. Apart from this, this custom also prevails among the Nairs of Travancore and Malabar. If we talk about North India, then this strange custom is found in Jaunsar Bhavar, Kinnaur of Himachal Pradesh and Malwa of Punjab. Here many husbands have only one wife. The children born from such a marriage are not considered to belong to any one but to all. These people consider themselves the descendants of Pandavas, in such a way they are still following the tradition of polyandry.
