Kerala[edit]
Polyandry and polygamy were prevalent in Kerala till the late 19th century and isolated incidents were reported till mid-20th century. The castes practicing polyandry were Nairs, Thiyyas, Kammalans and a few of the artisan castes.[7][8] In case of Nairs and other related castes, a man's property is inherited by his sister's children and not his own.[9] Several unrelated men had a common wife in Nair polyandry. Under Nair polyandry, the only conceivable blood-relationship could be ascertained through females.[10] However, polyandry among Nairs is a contested issue with opinion divided between ones who support its existence[11][12] and ones who do not support it based on the fact that no stable conjugal relationship is formed in Nair polyandry.[13]
