Answer / Mayank Kumar Pandey
There is evidence to suggest that Brahmanical prescriptions about kinship and marriage were not always followed in ancient India. For example, the practice of polyandry (multiple husbands for one woman) was recorded in some parts of India, although it was prohibited by Brahmanical law. Similarly, the practice of Sati (widow immolation) was widespread, despite being condemned by many religious texts. There is also evidence to suggest that caste rules were sometimes ignored or bent in practice, particularly in rural areas where social mobility was more fluid.
