A young mum told last night how she has five husbands — who are all brothers. 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
sèx with her but I’m not jealous. We’re one big happy family. The couple got hitched in an arranged Hindu marriage four years ago and he remains her only official spouse.
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.
