Tibet. Polyandry, etc. Bashny.Net

Tibetan wedding - a combination of modern and ancient traditions of China's Tibet. And the source of these traditions was the plight of the Tibetans. Here, women are allowed to have several husbands.





In Tibet, polyandry is developed, which is due to severe economic conditions. Poor families can not gather up a dowry for the bride, and so when one of the brothers married, the other brothers and father in law have the opportunity to take the girl to his wife and himself. The property is in such a marriage becomes the property of the older child and younger have a right to all to enjoy. Marriage bed all men visit in turn and becomes a sign for the other shoes, standing near the door.

If an unmarried woman becomes pregnant, the father of a young girl working for a family about a month during the birth, and then the girl's parents blessed him and released. No one owes nothing to.



Tibet was captured by the Chinese in 1950, while more were killed 1, 2 million people in Tibet, ruined temples. Residents went to the city of India, where the standard of living was hard and difficult. Therefore, matrimonial customs of Tibet is not fiction, but a real fact. Many Tibetans are still sitting in prison, where they are killed for refusing to accept the religion and culture of the Chinese. Residents of EU countries are trying to promote the revival of Tibetan culture, but so far have not reached so considerable successes.



Today, many cities in Tibet have become a springboard for the introduction of Chinese culture. It is basically a trading port, thanks to whom survive remote areas.
