2 Brothers Share 1 Wife
Oct 27, 2008 Funny News, Life
They do this to prevent their tiny little piece of family land from being split. It is called fraternal polyandry.
Both aged in their forties, the two brothers have lived together nearly their whole lives. They are poor and share just about everything: Their home, their work and a wife.
They practice what is known as fraternal polyandry — where the brothers of one family marry the same woman. Why? Tradition and economics.
In this difficult terrain there isn’t enough land to go around. So, instead of finding separate wives and splitting up their inherited property, the brothers marry the same woman and keep their land together.
One thing they agreed on was the need to have children; They have three. So how does a married trio deal with sex?
“We make shifts, change shifts and sleep on alternate days. We have to make shifts otherwise it won’t work,” Kundan says.
