Brothers share wife to secure family land

Polyandry as a solution to an inheritance problem - interesting, considering that polygamy has much more notoriety, and has been far more common historically. Even more interesting because, according to WikiPedia the Himachal Pradesh is a very ancient Indo-European enclave.

Amar and Kundan Singh Pundir are brothers. Younger brother Amar breaks rocks in a mine for a living. Kundan farms their small piece of inherited land. They live in a beautiful but remote hillside village in the clouds of Himachal Pradesh, India.
