Poverty  is also a factor to consider when it comes to polyandry. The more privileged children of polyandrous mothers often don't engage in the practice I think (a) because of the stigma associated with it and (b) because outside of a very well defined set of economic, social and geographic circumstances, it can be quite a daunting task to 'manage' many husbands. To rely on tradition and social pressure to counteract basic instincts like anger, jealousy, possesiveness doesn't usually work well for long IMO
