Hello, meet my 3 husbands

We don't hear much about women with several husbands. Do they even exist? Can a man really share his wife with someone else?

Polyandry is the practice of having multiple husbands.
Women are allowed to practice polyandry in Southern India, Tibet and Nepal.
In the Middle East it would be unheard of for a woman to have several husbands because it goes against both the teachings of Islam and Christianity.

To make matters even more interesting, In Tibet the husbands are usually brothers. This is known as fraternal polyandry.

Makes a person wonder, How do the men know who's the father of the kids?

Well, they don't. They all consider themselves to be the father.
The wife usually chooses to keep the matter of who the biological father is to herself, to avoid creating tension and conflict between the brothers.

The wife is expected to split her nights equally among the brothers so they all have the same amount of intimacy with her.

A sensitive subject to be spoken about, but many wives admit to sleeping with each brother one after the other.

Although I stand against all forms of polygamy, it's nice to know that there isn't much of a global double standard against women having multiple husbands.

It just gives me comfort to know that us Muslims aren't the only ones out there with exotic and peculiar family arrangements.

Signed,
