One of the most curious customs of
Tibet is the habit prevalent through
out the country for a woman to marry
all her husband’s brothers as well as
himself. The plan, however, works
well enough so far as the family is
concerned. Perhaps they expect very
little, but the fact remains that these
many-husbanded ladies seem able to
keep a comfortable home for their
changing housemates.
