Sukh Dayal Bhagsen, 60, is from the neighboring village of Tholang.
As a young man he joined his elder brother’s marriage to a woman named Prem Dasi.
It was never discussed, but always assumed, that he would do this when he reached marriageable age, he said.
“If you marry a different woman, then there are more chances of family disputes,” Mr. Bhagsen said. “Family property is divided, and problems arise.”
Three brothers married Ms. Dasi, who bore five Children.
