In social anthropology and sociobiology, polyandry (Greek: poly- many, andros- man) means forming a sexual union with more than one male.
The form of polyandry in which two (or more) brothers marry the same woman is known as fraternal polyandry, and it is believed by many anthropologists to be the most frequently encountered form.
