Rajo Verma, 21, lives in a one-room shack with all five, sleeping with a
different one each night on a rota. The housewife has no idea which one
is the father of her toddler son. She said: “Initially it felt a bit
awkward. But I don’t favour one over the
other.”
Husband Guddu, 21 - the first to make her his bride insisted: “We all
have
sex with her but I’m not jealous. We’re one big happy family.” Guddu and
Rajo got married in an arranged Hindu marriage four years ago and he
remains her only official spouse. Continue...
But the custom in their village is she had to take as husbands his brothers
Bajju, 32, Sant Ram, 28, Gopal, 26, and Dinesh - who married her last year
when he turned 18.
Eldest brother Bajju said: “I consider her my wife and sleep with her like my
brothers.” Rajo cooks, cleans and looks after 18-month-old Jay while her
hubbies go out to work in Dehradun, northern India.
She said of the ancient tradition, called polyandry: “My mother was also
married to three brothers so when I got wed I knew I had to accept all of
them as my husbands.
“I sleep with them in turn. We don’t have beds, just lots of blankets on
the floor.
“I get a lot more attention and love than most wives.”
