There are many women who are forced to marry up to 5 brothers in the same family. Each night they have to sleep with one person and at the end of the day, they do not even know who is the father of their child?

There are many weird customs in the world and the weirdest is from a small village in Dehradun province, North India, where a woman is forced to marry all the brothers of her husband and alternately love each person every night.

This custom originates from Mahabharat, where Princess Draupadi was allowed to get married to 5 siblings in a family. It is believed that it brings health and wealth.

Acording to this custom, women must “make love” alternatively one of her husbans for every night.

A young girl named Rajo Verma had got married to Guddu, 24 years old in 2009. One year after marrying her first husband Guddu , Rajo continued marrying other brother-in-laws, alternatively Baiju, 32 years old, Sant Ram, 28 years old, Gopal, 26 years old and her latest husband is youngest brother Dinesh, 19 years old.

Every night she must “have sex” with one of them. They even set schedule to “make love” to ensure their equality.

But this custom causes many serious results. One of them is that Rajo’s children never know exactly who is their father. However curious, people in Dehradun never take ADN tests because of both custom and poverty.
