Abstract
Marriage evolved into an essential social structure as civilised civilization progressed. Marriage is the biological, psychological, cultural, and social union of matched couples. Other societies, like nomadic tribal communities, are mainly patriarchal. This research looked at the traditional marriage system of the Changthang nomadic people of the Ladakh area. It has been explored the cultural component of nomadic women's existence in contrast to other women, gender inequity, and the polyandry system practiced by the majority of Tibetan nomadic people. The economic, political, educational, and social standing of women has been emphasised. The Changthang people of Ladakh practise Tibetan Buddhism. Globalization, modernity, technology, and speedy communication are diminishing Ladakh's nomadic population. As a consequence of educational gains, women are more aware of their social, political, and economic rights. This study uses both first-hand and second-hand sources, such as interviews with Changthang nomad women, books, papers, case studies, and websites, among other things.
