Abstract	Polyandry, where a woman is married to multiple men simultaneously, is practiced in various regions of the Indian Himalayas, including Kinnaur. The Kinnaura society follows a form of polyandry known as adelphic polyandry, where brothers collectively marry a common wife and share responsibilities for her and their children. Over time, polyandry in Kinnaur has faced challenges and is declining, though some continue the practice for personal reasons. This study explores the diverse marriage systems in Kinnaur and investigates the factors influencing the persistence and decline of polyandry.
