Polyandry in India

[[File:Draupadi and Pandavas.jpg|thumb|upright=1.20|[[Draupadi]] and her five husbands, the [[Pandava]]s. Top down, from left to right: the twins [[Nakula]] and [[Sahadeva]] stand either side of the throne on which [[Yudhishthira]] and Draupadi sit between [[Bhima]] and [[Arjuna]].]]
{{Anthropology of kinship |studies}}
'''Polyandry in India''' refers to the practice of [[polyandry]], whereby a woman has two or more husbands at the same time, either historically on the Indian subcontinent or currently in the country of [[India]]. An early example can be found in the Hindu epic ''[[Mahābhārata]]'', in which [[Draupadi]], daughter of the king of [[Panchala]], is married to five brothers.<ref name="India, Past and Present">{{cite book |title=India, Past and Present, Historical, Social, and Political | first = James |last= Samuelson |year=1890 |publisher=Trübner & Co. |place= London |url=https://archive.org/stream/pli.kerala.rare.6522#page/n0|pages=18, 20, 46, 47 |access-date= 6 September 2018 |via=Internet Archive}}</ref>

Polyandry was mainly prevalent in the [[Kinnaur]] region, a part of [[Himachal Pradesh]] in India which is close to the [[Tibet]] or currently the [[China–India border]]. As mentioned in the epic ''Mahabharata'', the [[Pandavas]] were banished from their kingdom for thirteen years and they spent the last year hiding in this hilly terrain of Kinnaur. Some Kinnauris claim that this practice has been inherited from the Pandavas, who they identify as their ancestors.{{citation needed|date=December 2016}} The [[Jaunsari people]] similarly identify their practice of polyandry with their descent from the Pandavas.

Polyandry is also seen in [[South India]] among the [[Toda people|Todas]] tribes of [[Nilgiris (mountains)|Nilgiri]]s, Nanjanad Vellala of [[Travancore]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Lakshmi Raghunandan |title=At the Turn of the Tide: The Life and Times of Maharani Setu Lakshmi Bayi, the Last Queen of Travancore|year=1995 |page=185}}</ref> While polyandrous unions have disappeared from the traditions of many of the groups and tribes, it is still practiced by some in the [[Jaunsar-Bawar]] region in [[North India]].

Recent years have seen the rise in [[fraternal polyandry]] in the [[agrarian societies]] in [[Malwa (Punjab)|Malwa]] region of [[Punjab, India|Punjab]] to avoid division of farming land.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120211155730/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2005-07-16/india/27861707_1_agrarian-crisis-family-farm-punjab "Draupadis bloom in rural Punjab"] ''[[The Times of India]]''. 16 July 2005.</ref>

==Legal developments==

Section 494 and 495 of the [[Indian Penal Code]] of 1860, prohibited polygamy for the Christians. In 1955, the [[Hindu Marriage Act]] was drafted, which prohibited marriage of a Hindu whose spouse was still living. Thus [[polygamy]] became illegal in [[India]] in 1956.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=XFtcAgAAQBAJ&q=india+polygamy+law&pg=PA189 ''Modern Indian Family Law'', Werner Menski, Routledge, 2013 p. 194] {{ISBN?}}</ref>

==Himachal Pradesh==
{{Unreferenced section|date=December 2015}}
Polyandry is in practice in many villages of [[Kinnaur]] district of [[Himachal Pradesh]]. Fraternal polyandry (where husbands are related to each other) is mainly in practice in villages, where the societies are male dominated and which still follow ancient rituals and customs.

There are many forms of polyandry which can be found here. Most often, all the brothers are married to a woman and sometimes the marriage to brothers happens at a later date. The wife can only ascertain the blood-relationship of the children, though recently there have been a few instances of [[paternity test]]s using [[DNA]] samples to resolve inheritance disputes. The rules for breaking the marriage are strict and a brother going against the marriage agreement can be treated as an outcast while losing his entire share in the property.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last1=Negi|first1=Sunder Kala|last2=Singh|first2=Hoshiar|date=2014|title=Marital Satisfaction and Well Being among Fraternal Polyandrous and Monogamous Tribal People of Kinnaur|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331816023|journal=Irc's International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research in Social & Management Sciences|volume=2|issue=4|pages=47–57}}</ref>

Historically, fraternal polyandry has been practiced by wealthier families, associated with a higher [[Caste system in India|caste]], in Kinnaur as a way to keep wealth within one family. This allowed for land to be properly inherited and kept in one family. It was assurance that the land and wealth held by one family could not be partitioned. Those in lower castes also practiced fraternal polyandry if they had a larger amount of land.<ref name=":03">{{Cite journal |last=Aghaghia |first=Rahimzadeh |date=October 2020 |title=Fraternal Polyandry and Land Ownership in Kinnaur, Western Himalaya |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/2473341683 |journal=Human Ecology |volume=48 |issue=5 |page=574 |id={{ProQuest|2473341683}} }}</ref>

The territory of Kinnaur remained forbidden for many years as the land route was only established 30 years ago. The joint families are now fragmented into nuclear families. The level of economies and financial resources have transformed the life of the people of Kinnaur into city.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Gautam|first1=Rajesh K|last2=Kshatriya|first2=Gautam K|title=Polyandry: A Case Study of Kinnauras|url=https://www.academia.edu/4466645|journal=Indian Journal of Physical Anthropology|volume=30|issue=1–2|date=2011|pages=146–161}}</ref>

==Kerala==
Polyandry and [[polygamy]] were prevalent in [[Kerala]] till the late 19th century and isolated cases were reported until the mid-20th century.

The evidence presented for such a custom during the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries primarily stems from accounts provided by foreign travelers who were prohibited from approaching within sixty yards of a Nair's residence. Consequently, their testimonies offer an exceedingly unsatisfactory basis for definitive conclusions regarding Nair customs. Conversely, the extensive Malayalam literature on the subject provides a more nuanced and culturally informed perspective.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Panikkar |first=K.

In the case of polyandry, depending upon the communities, a man's property is inherited by his own children, his brother's children or his sister's children and not his own.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/imperialgazette18huntgoog/page/n94  The imperial gazetteer of India by William Wilson Hunter].</ref> However, polyandry is a contested issue with opinion divided between those who support its existence<ref>{{cite journal| last = A.

The custom of fraternal polyandry was common among [[Thiyya]]s of Malabar and [[ezhava]]s. According to Cyriac Pullipally, female members of the [[Thiyya]], [[ezhava]], and [[mukkuva]]s community associated with English, French, Dutch, and Portuguese men as their concubines.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Smith|first=Bardwell L.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xNAI9F8IBOgC&q=polyandry|title=Religion and Social Conflict in South Asia|date=1976|publisher=Brill|isbn=978-90-04-04510-1|page=34|language=en}}</ref>

==Punjab and Haryana==
In certain areas of Punjab, especially the [[Bathinda]] and [[Mansa district, India|Mansa]] districts of Malwa region, poor farmers follow the practice of polyandry under economic compulsion to avoid further fragmentation of their already small landholdings. A study conducted in 2019 by [[Panjab University]] found evidence of polyandry in Haryana and Punjab. The study culminated in the book ''Gender Culture and Honour'' and found cases of wife sharing in the districts of Yamunanagar in Haryana and Mansa and Fatehgarh Sahib of Punjab.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/modern-draupadis-exist-in-mansa-villages/articleshow/7847515.cms | title=Modern Draupadis exist in Mansa villages | website=[[The Times of India]] | date=2 April 2011 }}</ref>

Polyandrous union occurs in this region when a woman marries the eldest son in a family. The woman automatically becomes the wife of all his brothers upon her marriage. The brothers can be married to more than one woman if the first woman was sterile or if the age difference of the brothers were large. The wife is shared equally by all brothers and no one in the group has exclusive privilege to the wife. The woman considers all the men in the group her husband and the children recognise them all as their father.<ref>{{cite journal| last1 = Berreman | first1 = Gerald D. | title = Pahari Polyandry: A Comparison| journal = [[American Anthropologist]] | volume = 64| issue = 1| pages = 60–75| year = 1962| doi = 10.1525/aa.1962.64.1.02a00070| doi-access = free}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal| last1 = Berreman| first1 = Gerald D. | title = Himalayan Polyandry and the Domestic Cycle| journal = [[American Ethnologist]] | volume = 2| issue = 1| pages = 127–138| publisher = [[Blackwell Publishing]], on behalf of the [[American Anthropological Association]] | date = February 1975| jstor =643539| doi = 10.1525/ae.1975.2.1.02a00070| doi-access = free}}</ref>
