The ancient Hindu tradition of polyandry was once widely practiced in India, but is now only observed by a minority.

It sees a woman take more than one husband, typically in areas which are male dominated.

In fraternal polyandry the woman is expected to marry each of her original husband’s brothers.

It is thought to have arisen from the popular Sanskrit epic of Mahabharatha, which sees Draupadi, daughter of the King of Pancha being married to five brothers.

The practice is also believed to be a way of keeping farming land in the family.

It is most commonly found near the Himalayas in the north of the country, as well as in the mountainous nation of Tibet.
