The custom of ‘adelphic polyandry’ or sexual access by an unmarried man to his brother's wife is commonplace amongst certain agrarian societies in Malwa region of Punjab amongst Punjabi Jatts, primarily as a means to prevent further fragmentation of land.
The late and controversial singer Amar Singh 'Chamkila' and his wife describe the realities of this practice from the perspective of a woman and her brother-in-law in the song ਭੁਲ ਗਈ ਮੈਂ ਘੁੰਡ ਕਡਨਾ.
