Abstract

Based on the field investigation, this paper analyses the maintenance and regular mechanism of the interior relationship of polygamous families typically represented by a wife shared by brothers and a husband shared by sisters. It reveals the inherent conflicts and instability of the polygamous marriage form by the means of discussing the core interior contradictions and exterior change characteristics. With the ever-changing and constant development of the interior and exterior factors of the families, the internal family relationship and regulatory mechanism will show a more diversified and complicated trend.
