Location: Gulmi
Description: A Brahman woman resting while a porter passes her on a trail. She had joined Peace Corps volunteer Carl Hosticka on the trail for a few hours. She lamentied the fact that her husband had taken another wife. Polygamy was acceptable, but usually limited to those who could afford to support more than one wife. All husbands of Carl Hosticka's acquaintance who had more than one wife found it difficult, especially dealing with multiple mothers-in-law.
