"Among the Mandi, a remote hill tribe in Bangladesh and India, widows who wish to remarry must choose a man from the same clan as their dead husband. The only single males, however, are often much younger. So the custom evolved that a widow would offer one of her daughters as a second bride to take over her duties — including sex — when the daughter came of age."
This article is interesting and creepy in equal measure.
Interesting and creepy sums it up. The interesting part to me is how open the daughters are about their feelings about the situation.
