Tibetan Wives Can Be Shared Between Brothers - Tibet Documentary

A land enshrouded in spirituality, Tibet is home to distinct cultural traditions and astounding natural scenery. Cradled amidst the towering peaks of the Himalayas, Tibet is a region where the sky seems to embrace the earth. In this journey, we'll explore deep into the heart of Tibet, unveiling a world where ancient traditions thrive and where the lives of its people are as captivating as the landscape they inhabit.

Amidst this cultural mosaic, we encounter practices as intriguing as it is uncommon – fraternal polyandry. A practice in which one woman can marry two or more siblings simultaneously, most commonly brothers. This unique marital arrangement, rooted in economic necessity and social tradition, forms a complex yet fascinating facet of Tibetan society. It challenges our understanding of family structures and invites us to explore the intricate balance between survival, culture, and the preservation of heritage in this magnificent land.

Join us as we journey into the life of the urban Tibetans, who weave the threads of tradition with the sinews of modernity. Through the lives of the nomadic Drokpa, herders of the high plateau whose tents dot the vast expanse like stars in the night sky. We'll delve into the agrarian rhythms of the Tibetan Agriculturalists, custodians of the fertile valleys where barley and wheat sway in the mountain breeze. We'll also journey into the serene Buddhist monasteries of the Tibetan monks, diving into a world of spiritual pursuit and ancient wisdom.

The concept of freedom is universal. Freedom for Tibet as those who wish it freedom also free their own.

Fun Fact : There's no Tibetan word for "Polyamory". So the culture does not conceptualize it like this video presents. In fact, it is not the woman who proposes to marry brothers. It is rather the male family that agree to this before proposing to her. In most cases, the female refuses. That's why polyamory is less than 0.1% of all existing marriages in Tibet today

At the beginning of this video (at .05 seconds in) you show a small lovely Monastery on the side of a mountain, well truth be told -this is the "Tiger's Nest" (also known as Paro Taktsang Monastery), is actually in Bhutan and NOT Tibet! Also, all those pretty light skinned models used in this video are Han Chinese and not your typical Tibetan woman who are darker and more robust from all the hard work that plagues them all. So I see a significant efford was made to beautify this video! Lets keep things authentic!

As a Tibetan living in the U.S. A. I find this documentary very accurate and well researched account on Tibet but does not include almost 67% of Tibet; the Kham and Amdo regions which were incorporated into the Chinese provinces of Qinghai, Gansu, Szechwan, and Yunnan since China illegally invaded and occupied Tibet in 1950. So, this video contains only a one third of the Tibetan land area, otherwise I fully endorse this. 👍👍👍

Someone who has utilized social media to highlight Tibetan issue across the world, I found this documentary extremely informative and vividly presented vital aspect of Tibetan, religious cultural and political status so masterly depicted through rich visuals accompaniedby a fantastic running commentary ! My heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to the creaters of this rare documentary on contemporary Tibet ( Chinese occupied) !

@The Journey I like your documentary, Could you edit out where Tiger Nest monastery is at 0.04 seconds. The place is in Bhutan, not Tibed.

Caesar wrote in his Commentaries on the Gallic War that it was common practice among the tribes in Britain for brothers to share a wife. Raising children was also communal.
