I saw a thing on tv a long time ago about a polyandry culture in northern india (not sure exactly where), where the norm is for a woman to marry a man and how ever many brothers he has. As long as she visits every man each night, they are all happy.
As you can imagine, four adults pooling their resources granted them a large house (in 3rd world means), a high degree of stability, and there always being a father on hand.
One of the more interesting parts about this relationship, is that the three brothers/husbands claim all of the children equally.
