Sororate marriage is a type of marriage in which a husband engages in marriage or sexual relations with the sister of his wife, usually after the death of his wife, or once his wife has proven infertile. From an anthropological standpoint, this type of marriage strengthens the ties between both groups (the wife's family or clan and the husband's) and preserves the contract between the two to provide children and continue the alliance. The Inuit people (formerly known as Eskimos) of northern Alaska, Canada and Greenland follow or followed this custom. Sororate marriage is also practiced by Swazi people and for the same reasons as stated.[citation needed] This type of marriage is also performed in Bhutan. Former King Jigme Singye Wangchuck (the current king's father)is married to four wives all of whom are sisters. There is also evidence that sororate marriage existed in ancient China.
