It's been a common practice for brothers to share one wife in many of the tribes in Sichuan and Yunnan province. Forget their names and too tired to look it up right now :\ Think it's polyamory when it's a woman with several men tho rite? Or does polygamy go both ways? The tradition is to do with lifestyle, ie Farming in general rather than ethnic groups, though it is a practice discouraged by Han culture/beliefs. Basically it's better to keep the brothers in one household, so that the family farmland does not get divided up - which means they becomes less productive. Other practices with a similar aim include: only the eldest son gets the family land, the younger ones either have to leave for work, or become a monk etc. This in-balance will self-correct! Already it is too expensive to have sons. In many major cities, having, women hold such bargaining power that, a guy without a mortgage financed house & car is practically un-marriable. | ||

You're right but I didn't say it had to do with either ethnicity or farming. I just said it already occurs within some ethnic groups in China. I never generalized or said, "ethnic people share wives." It wouldn't make sense for me to say, "Farming people sometimes share wives to keep from having to divide their farmland." Since this is a thread about gender ratios and not how inheritance works. | ||

I'm sure they've got it so under control by now that the better state of affairs now justifies a disregard for the existence of the situation. I feel so silly. edit: I realise this is a copied quote | ||
