How does polyandry live?

The life of polyandry is that women have to take care of their families and balance their relationships with many men. Polygamy refers to the marriage system in which a woman has multiple husbands. Different from polygamy, there are relatively few areas where polygamy is practiced, only the central mountainous areas of Sri Lanka and some primitive tribes in Africa. There are also some Tibetan traditional polygamous families in China. Mormons in the United States allow polygamy and polygamy.

The marriage custom of polygamy was once popular in Sri Lanka's history and still exists in the mountains of central Sri Lanka.

Polygamy usually begins when a man and a woman of similar age get married to form a family, and then one or more men voluntarily join the family, but no more weddings are held. The later husband and the first husband have the same rights and obligations.

Generally speaking, there are three kinds of polygamous families: one is that the brothers in this family marry; Second, several cousins * * * marry a wife; Third, there were no relatives and friends at first, and then they formed families with each other. Of the above three situations, the first one is more common. There are two kinds of polyandry family housing: one is that each husband has his own bedroom, and the wife can enter any husband's bedroom at will, but one man can't enter another man's bedroom at will; Second, the wife lives alone in a room and the husband lives in his wife's bedroom. When a husband goes in to live with his wife, he must hang his salon outside the door to prevent other husbands from entering.

In a polygamous family, the wife is the head of the family. If there is any contradiction, it is up to the wife to decide. If some husbands do not obey, the wife has the right to expel them from the house. In such a family, no matter how many children there are, they all belong to the "father".
