v1.c5.354

Horace Man reports a remarkable case of polyandry in the Nicobars. The woman had no children by her first husband; she therefore married a second, and could then prove the truth of her suspicion as to number one; both the husbands lived peacefully together, but everyone laughed at the family (Transactions of the 9th Internat. Congr. of Orientalists, vol. ii, p. 891).
