polyandrous
Wife with multiple husbands
Polyandrous describes a woman having multiple husbands simultaneously, or in biology, a female mating with multiple males during a breeding season.
The practice is rare among human societies but occurs in certain Himalayan and African cultures.
In zoology, polyandrous species include jacanas and some shorebirds where females compete for mates while males handle nesting duties.
