I do. Twice! Modern Draupadis and the polyandry debate

I do. Twice! Modern Draupadis and the polyandry debate Sneha Bhura TNN Jul 26, 2025, 19:47 IST IST One bride, two grooms — a viral Himachal wedding revives interest in a fading custom in high, hard places Indian weddings have a way of making the world sit up and watch. Think star-studded Bollywood nuptials in Lake Como or extravagant pre-wedding galas. But this month, another kind of wedding went viral: Sunita Chauhan, a young woman from Shillai village in Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh, married two brothers, Pradeep and Kapil Negi , from the Hatti tribe. Their three-day wedding—complete with folk dances, blessings from the village panchayat and shared vows — catapulted the word ' polyandry ' into our living-room discourse. But how did this practice of a woman marrying multiple men find its way into our news feed in 2025? It's not that polyandry is flourishing in the country. Researchers confirm its steep decline, driven by more educated women, men migrating for jobs, legal curbs and the rise of nuclear families. Still, polyandrous households persist in parts of Himachal and elsewhere, especially where arable land is scarce and joint families endure.

Euro 2025: Spains style vs. Englands will to win sets up fascinating final

Basel (Switzerland), Jul 26 (AP) A title game between defending champion England and World Cup winner Spain is the Women's European Championship final that many wanted. How they got to Basel on Sunday is a whole other story. Spain has mostly cruised through its five games except for a late scare in a tense semifinal against Germany. England has trailed for long periods of three games and survived being on the brink of elimination in both knockout games. Spain is a supremely technical team with a dream midfield pairing two-time Ballon d'Or winners Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmatí. England has incredible will to win and has called a pair of dramatic game-changers off the bench, Michelle Agyemang and Chloe Kelly. 'We always have the confidence that in terms of positioning and having possession, we tend to be very precise and it's difficult to take the ball off us," Putellas said. 'So we're ready for anything.? It looks like an ideal final of contrasting styles. One made possible only because England's humbling opening 2-1 loss to France ultimately kept the title holder out of Spain's side of the knockout bracket. Leaders and trailersFour vs. 219. That's the number of minutes Spain has trailed at Euro 2025 games compared to England. Spain fell behind between the 10th and 14th minutes of a group-stage game against Italy when some starters were rested because the team was likely to finish top. England gave up two first-half goals against France in their group, again to Sweden in the quarterfinals and one more to Italy in the semifinals. England's equalizing goals by Agyemang in the knockout games came in, respectively, the 81st and then the sixth minute of stoppage time. 'I think we've nearly killed her twice this tournament!" England's Ella Toone said of coach Sarina Wiegman. 'She says we've definitely aged her." Spain midfielder Patri Guijarro said of England's resolve: ?There's no fragility. And I think that above all, their competitiveness, is what has got them this far. But what they're doing is not easy.? Trading winsSpain and England each beat the other when winning their recent titles, and they traded wins in a UEFA Nations League group this year. England eliminated Spain 2-1 after extra time in the quarterfinals of its home Euro 2022. Does this sound familiar? England trailed into the 84th that day before two substitutes — Alessia Russo and Toone — assisted and scored to force extra time. Spain got a deserved 1-0 win in the 2023 World Cup final played in Sydney, Australia. Spain is now on a run of 13 wins in 14 games and the blip was a 1-0 loss to England at Wembley in February. Spain won the return game 2-1 on June 3, rallying with two Clàudia Pina goals in the second half. Winning women coachesFor the eighth straight edition, the title-winning coach will be a woman. England's Wiegman and Spain's Montse Tomé were in a minority of seven female head coaches with the 16 teams that started in Euro 2025. They are the last coaches standing to extend a winning run started in 1997. Wiegman won the past two, with England in 2022 and her native Netherlands in 2017. Germany coaches Silvia Neid and Tina Theune won the previous five. Spain never reached the final in 13 previous editions since 1984. Penalty shootoutsThat first final 41 years ago is the only one decided by a penalty shootout. Sweden beat England in a rain-soaked, near-empty stadium in Luton after a two-leg final ended 1-1. The scorer of Sweden's decisive penalty, and its goal in the first leg, was Pia Sundhage, who coached Switzerland to the quarterfinals here, losing 2-0 to Spain. England's second shootout in Women's Euros history also was against Sweden, last week in the quarterfinals. A madcap affair saw only five of 14 spot kicks scored and Sweden fail twice when scoring would have sent England home. Spain was involved in just one Women's Euros shootout, losing to Austria in the 2017 quarterfinals.
