Polyandry is a marriage arrangement in which one woman has multiple husbands at the same time, as illustrated by the ancient Indian epic "Mahabharata," where the princess Draupadi was married to five brothers. It matters as a historical and cultural practice that challenges modern assumptions about marriage and reveals the diversity of family structures that have existed across different societies and time periods.

Polyandrie of veelmannerij is het hebben van meerdere mannen tegelijkertijd. Het is daardoor een vorm van polygamie. Een van de bekendere voorbeelden komt uit de Mahābhārata, een hindoeïstich epos waarin Draupadi getrouwd is met de vijf Pandava's.
