In a new incident that has surfaced online, it is seen how a tribal man from Telangana is marrying two women at the same time. Arjun, a resident of the Ghanpur village fell in love with both Usharani and Surekha. The women were fine with the arrangement, and so Arjun married both of them in a ceremony recently.

This might seem unusual for city folk, but a lot of tribal cultures approve of polygamous relationships in their community. This was also confirmed by Pandra Jaivantharao from the Mandal Praja Parishad who said, "Both girls wanted to get married to him and had no issues being wives to the same man. Adivasi tradition allows for such marriage," in a statement to ANI.
