Husband Guddu, 21 - the first to make her his bride insisted: “We all have sex with her but I’m not jealous. We’re one big happy family.” Guddu and Rajo got married 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.

“I get a lot more attention and love than most wives.”

印度五兄弟共侍一妻　男後宮實行輪班制

據外媒報導，印度一名女子有5位丈夫，而且這5位丈夫都是親兄弟。女子每天選擇一名不同的男子同房。他們已經育有一個孩子，但是還沒有確定到底是哪位兄弟的骨肉。

女子今年剛過21歲，她的名字叫Rajo Verma。她表示，最初的時候，我還覺得有些尷尬，但是我對他們5兄弟的愛都是真誠的，並且都是均等的，沒有絲毫的偏向。

第一個與Rajo共結連理的男子叫Guddu，他在5兄弟中排行老四，今年21歲。Guddu認為，雖然他們5人都和Rajo親熱，但是自己心中沒有絲毫的嫉妒，而且這是一個歡樂的大家庭。

在這座印度村莊有這樣的風俗習慣，就是女子結婚之後，要與男方的兄弟都結為夫妻。Guddu的其他幾個兄弟，分別是32歲、28歲、26歲以及18歲。

這5名丈夫和一名妻子僅僅住在一間棚房，家中也沒有床。Rajo表示，我與他們5個輪流過夜。因為家中沒有床，所以在地板上鋪了很多毯子。

Rajo最後還幸福地說，我覺得，相比其他妻子來說，我得到了更多的關注，還有更多的愛。
