Combined marriage is a form of marriage between multiple men and one woman (polyandry) described in a hadith attributed to a wife of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It is thought to have existed in the pre-Islamic period in the Arabian peninsula.
Definition This form of marriage, according to a Hadith narration attributed to Aisha:
This form of marriage was outlawed by Islam, which requires that any man and woman be married prior to sexual intercourse. In addition, Islam requires that the identity of the father be known, in turn prohibiting a woman from having sexual intercourse with more than one man, her husband.
