In the Philippines, polyandry is practiced among some indigenous groups, particularly the Tibetan people in the northern regions, such as the Cordillera. In these communities, it is not uncommon for a woman to marry multiple brothers, which helps to keep land within the family and ensures that resources are shared. However, polyandry is rare and not widely accepted in mainstream Filipino culture, where monogamy is the norm.

Polyandry is a type of polygamy. Polygamy is the act of having multiple spouses. Polyandry is more specific, a woman having multiple husbands. Therefore, wherever there is polyandry, there is also polygamy.
The religion in which polyandry is allowed and incouraged is called a Celtic indigenous religion and other Celtic societies. Polygandry is when a woman is allowed to have 2 or more husbands at one time.
Polygamy, traditionally defined as a person having multiple spouses, is primarily associated with men having multiple wives (polygyny). In most cultures and legal systems, polyandry, where a woman has multiple husbands, is much less common and often not legally recognized. However, some communities and cultures do practice polyandry, allowing women to have multiple husbands. Ultimately, the practice depends on cultural, legal, and social contexts.
