This is an example of polyandry.
Polyandry happens when a woman has more than one husband; the opposite, when a man has more than one wife, is called polygyny. Although polygamy is generally illegal all over the world, there are still some countries that practice it - polyandry is a common thing in Nepal and parts of China.
