Himachal Brothers Defend Marriage, Citing Tradition

Himachal Brothers Defend Marriage, Citing Tradition

Two brothers in Himachal Pradesh married the same woman due to an old tradition called 'Jodidar Pratha'.

This custom, also known as 'Jodidara,' allows brothers to share a wife, which they say is part of their culture.

They chose this willingly, and their families support them.

They are not concerned about criticism and want to uphold their tradition.

The brothers explained that the primary purpose of such marriages has historically been to prevent ancestral farmland from being divided.
