Rajo Verma, 21 Year Old Woman Married To Five Brothers

The 21-year-old Verma is also not sure which one fathered her now 18-month-old son. Verma and first husband Guddu were united in an arranged Hindu marriage four years ago, but she has since married Baiju, Sant Ram, Gopal and Dinesh. Baiju is the oldest at 32, while Dinesh is the youngest at 19. The seven of them live in one room in Dehradun. Verma married the four brothers in support of an 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,” she said. “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.”
