One Chinese academic has suggested allowing polyandry (ie, letting women take more than one husband). In the most unbalanced areas something like this may happen, regardless of the law.(一名中國學者提議一妻多夫制（即容許一名妻子擁有多名丈夫），在一些性別比例嚴重失調的地區，盡管法律并不允許，這種情況仍可能出現。)

I want a system: polyandry.(我所向往的制度：一妻多夫制。)

And we think he will be still more ready to make the concession when we shall have surveyed the facts connected with polyandry - the origin of which must be referred to the same cause.(而且我們認為他還要做更多的讓步當我們將調查一妻多夫的事實聯系時——它的起源必然是由于同樣的原因。)

Polyandry has been practiced here for centuries, but in a single generation it has all but vanished.(一妻多夫制已在此沿襲了數個世紀，但僅過了一代人，多夫制風俗便已近消失殆竭。)

In fraternal polyandry the woman is expected to marry each of her original husband's brothers.(在一妻多夫制的情況下，女人一般也會嫁給她原本丈夫的兄弟。)

The ancient Hindu tradition of polyandry was once widely practised in India, but is now only observed by a minority.(古印度一妻多夫的傳統曾經在印度非常普遍，不過現在只有一少部分人還這樣做。)

Honeybee is polyandry and eusocial-insect that they produce by colony fission and swarming who communicate with dancing and pheromone.(蜜蜂是多雄性真社會性昆蟲，分蜂是這個龐大家族繁衍的重要手段，它們通過信息素和蜂舞來傳遞信息。)

We have seen polyandry change its form till it allowed of kinship through males, and then die away into an obligation on younger brothers in turn to espouse the widow of the eldest brother;(我們看到一妻多夫改變其形式直到允許通過男性的血族關系，隨后消失在兄弟們依序娶長兄的寡婦的義務中；)
