西藏一妻多夫的法社会学思考

Thoughts on Polyandry in Tibet from the Perspective of Sociology of Law

一妻多夫是西藏一种传统的婚姻形式,至今在西藏地区仍有一定数量的存在,甚至在某些地区仍居于主导地位。这种婚姻形式明显有违我国《婚姻法》所倡导的一夫一妻制婚姻形式,但在西藏民主改革和几十年的经济文化建设后,仍然长期存在,与一妻多夫婚姻的民族性、地域性相联系,同时一妻多夫构建了社会秩序,发挥着独特的功能,构建各种社会关系,其自身独具实效性。

The polyandry is a traditional marriage arrangement in Tibet, which has persisted until today in Tibetan areas and even is performed as the predominant marriage form in some particular regions. Although this kind of marriage form is obviously contradicted with monogamy fitted by the China＇s legal rules in the ＂marriage law＂, the polyandry still has been a long-term existence after several decades of democratic reforms and economic-cultural development in Tibet. The characteristics of ethnicity and locality related to polyandry have.justified its specific effectiveness of its own, because it can exert a distinctive function on building social orders and adjusting social relations.
