Polygamy in the most basic sense refers to a marriage that involves multiple spouses, instead of two. Polygamy has been practiced for centuries but has been eliminated in most modern societies. There are a few different types of polygamy. A union that involves one woman and two or more men is correctly termed polyandry, while a union involving one man and two or more women is called polygyny. The latter arrangement is by far the most prevalent demographic . While polygamy is illegal in the United States and other countries, it is still practiced in many areas. In fact, there is a movement that goes hand in hand with the same sex marriage movement in the U.S. that hopes to include polygamy in the redefinition of marriage. Bigamy is sometimes used interchangeably with polygamy, although they are not necessarily the same thing. Bigamy technically means having two spouses at the same time, and the term is frequently used to describe two separate marriages, often when one spouse does not k

The court stops a Haryana caste panchayat from separating a married couple, but the family fears that powerful caste forces may organise a social boycott against it। IN an incident reminiscent of medieval justice, a Rathi khap (caste) panchayat consisting of prominent Rathi elders from three villages, Asanda, Bhabroda and Kharhar, in Jhajjar district of Haryana declared on October 10 a married couple brother and sister, although the woman was three months pregnant, and ordered the termination of the marriage. In the khap's opinion, Sonia and Rampal of Asanda had violated the principle of village exogamy. The convoluted principles of caste endogamy and village and gotra exogamy were pressed upon to decree the marriage unacceptable on social grounds even though the khap had no legal powers to do so. The khap, however, suffered a setback on October 15, when the Punjab and Haryana High Court directed it and the government and the panchayat not to meddle with the lives of the cou

In a season of increasing viciousness towards women, Haryana's Ballabhgarh to analyse the peculiarly brutal slaying of a pair of college girls. THE YEAR has not begun well for India’s women. The country awoke on January 1 to images of a 70-strong mob in Mumbai molesting two young women on New Year’s Eve — the two were sisters-in-law, one was on her honeymoon. In a village in Latur the same day, a 14- year-old was gang raped and hanged from a tree; later in the week, another rape victim, 13, was burned to death in her home in Maharashtra’s Ahmednagar district. In New Delhi, a mob gathered on January 5 to heckle two women from the Northeast “because their kind spreads immorality” — the mob was led by men who had made lewd remarks at the girls earlier that day. India’s men, obviously, have a long way to go. Ballabhgarh in Haryana’s Faridabad district is still reeling from the discovery of December 17, when sisters Manju and Mithlesh from Prithla village were found dead on the railway

The practice has been reported in virtually every culture and described throughout recorded history. As a from of deviance, prostitution has been of interest to sociologists as a reflection of various social processes and phenomena [1] .Sociologists have studied prostitution as a form of sexual deviance and a reflection of the basic values, norms, and institutions within a society.

Jaatland (German: Jütland) is a peninsula in northern Europe that forms the mainland part of Denmark and a northern part of Germany, dividing the North Sea from the Baltic Sea. Its terrain is relatively flat, with low hills and peat bogs. It has an area of 29,775 km² (11,496 square miles) and a population of 2,491,852 (2004). Much of the peninsula is occupied by the Kingdom of Denmark. The southern portion is made up of the German Bundesland of Schleswig-Holstein, possession of which has passed back and forth between the Danes and various German rulers, with Denmark most recently reclaiming North Schleswig (Nordslesvig in Danish) by plebiscite in 1920. The largest cities in the Danish part of the Jutland Peninsula are Århus, Aalborg, Billund, Esbjerg, Frederikshavn, Randers, Kolding, Ribe, Vejle, Viborg, and Horsens. The five largest cities in Schleswig-Holstein are Kiel, Lübeck, Flensburg, Neumünster, and Norderstedt, although Lübeck and Norderstedt are arguably not in Jutland. IN
