Woman Marries Two Brothers Under 'Jodidara' Practice

Woman Marries Two Brothers Under 'Jodidara' Practice

In a region of India, it's normal for a woman to marry two brothers!

This custom is called Jodidara and is common in the Hatti tribe.

The brothers and their wife decide how they will spend time together.

All the children are raised together as one family, and the oldest brother is seen as the legal dad.

One reason they do this is to keep family land from being split up.

Even though laws usually don't allow multiple husbands, the local court lets this tradition continue for these tribal groups.
