A young Indian woman has spoken out about being married to five husbands, all of whom are brothers. Rajo Verma, 22, lives in one room with the siblings and they sleep on blankets on the floor.
The mother-of-one, who sleeps each night with a different brother, does not know which of her five related husbands is the father of her 18-month-old son.
The set-up may seem peculiar, but it is tradition in the small village near Dehradun, Northern India, for women to also marry the brothers of their first husband.
She told the Sun: ‘Initially it felt a bit awkward. ‘But I don’t favour one over the other.’ Rajo and first husband Guddu wed in an arranged Hindu marriage four years ago.
Since then she has married Baiju, 32, Sant Ram, 28, Gopal, 26, and Dinesh, 19 – the latest in the line of husbands – who married her as soon as he turned 18. ‘We all have s ex with her but I’m not jealous,’ first husband Guddu – who remains the only official spouse – said.
‘We’re one big happy family.’ Rajo said she knew she was expected to accept all of her husbands, as her own mother had also been married to three brothers.
She said they sleep together in turn, but that they do not have beds, just ‘lots of blankets on the floor’. She added: ‘I get a lot more attention and love than most wives.’
