When it comes to Nepal, the first thing that comes to mind is poverty and backwardness, due to the lack of natural resources, lack of arable land, and backward industry, Nepal's economic development has been seriously restricted, so that it has been in a backward state for a long time, and Nepal has become one of the poorest countries in the world.
As more and more people travel to Nepal and learn more about Nepal, the unique customs of Nepal are difficult to understand, and many people are surprised when they hear it.
Among them, the most incomprehensible thing is that in some parts of Nepal, the system of "polyandry" is still practiced, which sounds ridiculous.
A Nepalese girl who did not want to marry was forcibly snatched away by the groom on her shoulder, and the girl kept calling her father heartbreakingly.
Hey, my heart is broken when I hear this cry, the twisted melon is not sweet, this parent is so ruthless, how can I ask my child to volunteer.
Women in Nepal have a low status, and men dominate almost all of women's lives.
Nepalese people generally get married relatively early, starting to talk about marriage at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and basically their parents arrange more.
Nepalese girls must pay a dowry to the man before they can marry, and the girl's marriage must be designated by the woman's parents. Many girls don't even meet their future husbands before they get married.
Therefore, many Nepalese girls do not have the right to choose their future husbands, such as when she marries the eldest brother of the family, which means that the family is old.
Second, old. The third and fourth child automatically became her husband.
Even if a young girl marries an eighty-year-old man, she will rely on the words of her parents, and she will not tolerate the slightest opposition from the girl, leaving the girl with only a stomach full of grief and indignation and endless tears.
The reason why there is a custom of "polyandry" is that Nepal's economic development is very backward, especially in the backward areas, the arable land area is even more scarce, which cannot meet the needs of people's survival.
Under such conditions, polyandry is practiced, and several Nepalese families can raise a single woman and form a large family, which can barely meet the needs of life and also meet the needs of marriage, especially in the poorest areas.
