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. Continue to read after the cut…
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.”
