Strange customs around the world

in the village of lum in nepal, there is a strange custom of marriage - polygamy.

the practice of marriage, which seems very odd in modern society, has attracted widespread international attention.

and even more shocking to the outside world is the situation where a brother shares a wife.

this practice arises because people are unable to meet their own survival needs in a normal monogamous system and can only be used to reduce poverty and to provide relief in the camps.

however, questions still need to be explored and studied as to whether such a marriage regime can truly bring benefits to people ' s survival and whether it will have a negative impact on society.

polygamy, also known as “brothers and sisters co-marriage” or “mulcan marriage”, refers to the marriage of a woman to several men at the same time, who are usually close to each other, e.g.

brother, cousin, etc.

in the village of lum, nepal, this marriage practice has existed for centuries and is considered a traditional culture.

in fact, such marriage practices exist in many countries and regions, such as india and africa.

however, in modern societies, monogamy has become the dominant marriage system thanks to the continued development of medical technology, while polygamy is considered dogmatic and anachronistic tradition.

in the village of lum, polygamy is female-dominated.

this is due to the fact that most men work in villages with very little income or even access to food.

at the same time, women are more economically self-sufficient than men, as they can increase family income by growing and selling crops.

polygamy therefore appears to be a more viable option in such cases.

in this marriage system, women can share resources such as property, goods and agricultural products.

rational use of those resources could help to alleviate the economic burden and rescue more victims.

in fact, polygamy is indeed a good option for certain special groups.

in the village of lum in nepal, there is intense competition among women, where homosexuals cannot be recognized and accepted.

in addition, within the family, women are expected to take on many domestic and child-care responsibilities.

in many cases, polygamy may reduce the burden on women.

for example, if a woman had multiple husbands, she could delegate certain tasks to one or more of them and spend more time on her career.

in this context, polygamy may eliminate gender discrimination and help women gain more opportunities and resources.

however, polygamy is also a difficult problem.

first, in this marriage system, relations between men are complex, especially between brothers.

in such a system, brothers need to share a woman and must maintain good relations.

such relationships are complex and can easily provoke jealousy and controversy and even lead to family breakdown.

second, polygamy is not legally recognized and may encounter problems in dealing with property and inheritance.

finally, the more important issue is the conflict between traditional cultures and modern societies.

modern society prefers monogamyPolygamy can lead to cultural conflict and social exclusion.

Ultimately, despite the benefits of polygamy for economic and social justice in certain specific situations, the tumour nature of the practice continues to give rise to doubts about its existence.

However, the existence of such marriage practices may also have important links to factors such as their historical, cultural and geographical context.

We cannot simply view it as a “retrogression”, but we should look at it from a broader perspective and find better solutions.

Finally, we hope that the country of Nepal will be able, through its multifaceted efforts, to lift its people out of poverty, solve its social problems and gradually move towards a modern society。
