Release date: April 15, 2023 Author: Jessica Wang Editor: Tom Lee
Believe me, this topic is more exciting than you think, and we are about to unveil the mystery of polyandry system!
In today's globalized world, we have become Xi to the exchange and integration of different cultures. However, in some corners of the world, there are still surprising traditional Xi. Today, we're going to take you on a journey to Nepal, a land of the Himalayas and countless stories and secrets. Here, there is a traditional family structure that people talk about, and that is the "polyandry" system.
First, let's briefly review the history. Since ancient times, the family system of male supremacy has been widely practiced in ancient Chinese society. The status of women tends to be low, and patriarchal preference is widespread. But in some parts of Nepal, polyandry has become the norm. Such a family structure may seem inconceivable in the contemporary eye, but it does exist and carries a deep cultural background.
Next, follow my steps to learn more about the reasons behind this unique social formation in Nepal. The scarcity of resources and the barrenness of land in the Himalayas have necessitated extraordinary measures to sustain their livelihoods. As a result, the system of "polyandry" was born, in which resources and property were not drained by sharing a spouse with multiple men.
Don't worry, the story is far from over. This system is not just for economic gain. In fact, polyandry is also seen as a way to strengthen brotherly ties and solidarity among some tribes in Nepal. Shared family responsibilities and childcare responsibilities can increase trust and cooperation.
However, we cannot ignore the fact that in the shadow of polyandry, what are the rights and status of women?
By comparing and analyzing the situation of women in two very different cultural contexts, China and Nepal, we can see that social structures and traditional attitudes have a profound impact on the fate of individuals.
