What you would instead see are extended families, like polygamy, other kinds of ways that people arranged marriage and child-rearing.

过去更常见的是扩展家庭，比如多夫制或夫多制，或者其他不同的婚姻和育儿安排方式。

But in societies with low male-to-female ratios, polyandry, or the marriage of one woman to two or more men, can also occur.

但在男女比例较低的社会，多夫制或名妇女与两名或两名以上男子结婚的情况也可能发生。
