论青藏高原和南亚一妻多夫制的起源

一妻多夫制最早出现于恒河流域,是进入阶级社会之后才有的婚姻形式,其基础条件是当时的生产方式底层出现种姓制度,并出现不分家的私有制观念。文章指出,青藏高原毗邻南亚,历史上这两个区域的一妻多夫制先行后续,空间上连片出现,文化特质亦相同,具有同根关系,因而青藏高原的一妻多夫制很可能来自印度。

On the Origin of Polyandry in Himalayas and India

This paper presumes that polyandry is originated from the drainage area along the Ganges River on the fact that it is a cultural strategy of the indigenous people to the arising distinction of castes and private ownership system when the classes had appeared.In fact,the origin of polyandry is based on the caste system and notion of the non-dividing private property derived from the bottom of the production mode at that time.It points out that,as Tibetan Plateau is adjacent to South Asia,the similarities of polyandry of the two regions in time and space,together with the resemblance of their cultural idiosyncrasy,make it very likely for the polyandry in Tibet to be originated from India.
