Niyog is a traditional practice in some cultures, particularly in parts of India, where it refers to a form of polyandry. In this arrangement, a woman may have multiple husbands, often brothers, who share responsibilities and resources within the family. This system can help ensure economic stability and support for children. The practice of niyog is often linked to agricultural societies, where land and labor are crucial for survival. By having multiple husbands, families can pool their resources and labor, enhancing their ability to manage land and provide for their offspring.
