In a rare and culturally significant incident, two real brothers in Himachal Pradesh married the same woman following a long-standing tradition of the Hatti community.
The marriage took place in the Sirmaur district, where the Hatti tribe practices a custom known as Ujla Paksh. Under this practice, one woman becomes the wife of two or sometimes more brothers.

The purpose behind this tradition is to avoid the division of family property and maintain joint family systems. Instead of splitting land among siblings, the family stays united under one roof with a shared household and single inheritance line.
According to reports, both brothers accepted the bride together as their wife, and the wedding was held with full traditional rituals. The entire village and their families supported the marriage.

In the Ujla Paksh tradition, brothers live together, share a single wife, and inherit property jointly. This prevents fragmentation of land and strengthens family unity especially in agrarian societies like the Hatti belt.
While the custom has social and economic roots, it is not without controversy. Some view it as part of cultural heritage and survival of kinship ties. Others argue it undermines a woman’s individual rights and freedom.

This practice is not widely followed across modern India, but in some parts of the Hatti community, it is still alive. Locals believe it brings stability, avoids disputes, and supports collective living.
Though not legally recognized by the government, such marriages continue to raise important questions about tradition versus modernity, rights versus customs.
This recent marriage has once again sparked debate should such age-old practices continue, or is it time to move forward?
