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.

一妻多夫制是指一个女子同时和两个或两个以上男子结为夫妻的婚姻制度。這種制度，有可能是群婚的痕跡。一妻多夫制最早的出現時期，可能是在母系社會時期。當時的女性在社會中具有領導地位。1980年默道克的《世界民族志抽样调查》列出的全世界約1,231個社群中，有186個是一夫一妻制。453個偶爾一夫多妻；588個的一夫多妻制更為頻繁，保持一妻多夫的只餘下四個。一妻多夫制並不比這個數字所暗示的少，因為它只考慮了喜馬拉雅地區（28個社群）中發現的那些例子。最近的研究發現，有50多個其他社群存在一妻多夫制。
