The world's biggest family

Believe it or not, a man in Mizoram has 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren -- all living together under one roof in a picturesque village about 100 km from Baktawng in the North Eastern India.

The head of the family and leader of the "Chana" sect — which allows polygamy — is 66-year-old Ziona Chana who lives with his family in a 100-room, four-storyed house named ''Chhuan That Run'' or the House of the New Generation.

Mr Chana told the Sun: 'Today I feel like God's special child. He's given me so many people to look after.
'I consider myself a lucky man to be the husband of 39 women and head of the world's largest family.'

The family is organised with almost military discipline, with the oldest wife Zathiangi organising her fellow partners to perform household chores such as cleaning, washing and preparing meals.

One evening meal can see them pluck 30 chickens, peel 132lb of potatoes and boil up to 220lb of rice.
Coincidentally, Mr Chana is also head of a sect that allows members to take as many wives as he wants.

The killer in the family photo

This is the chilling moment a politician inadvertently photographs his killer in the background of a family snapshot – a split-second before he is gunned down.
Reynaldo Dagsa, a councillor in Manila in the Philippines, was killed in front of his family moments after he pressed the shutter while taking the New Year’s Day portrait.

Ramjit Raghav Is World’s Oldest Father

He believes the secret to eternal youth is half a kilo of butter washed down with three litres of milk every day.
And Ramjit Raghav must be doing something right. At the age of 94, he claims, he has just celebrated the birth of his first child. Mr Raghav, from Haryana in northern India, hailed the arrival of son Karamjit as ‘God’s gift’. It would make him the world’s oldest father. He and his wife Shakuntala Devi, believed to be in her late 40s, hope to go one further by trying for a second child next year.


Mr Raghav, who was a wrestler in his youth, is confident that he will be around to see his little boy grow up, saying: ‘I will die only if a black snake bites me and that is very unlikely. ‘Visit me after ten years and you will find me in the same appearance. ‘My daily diet comprises three litres of milk, half a kilo of almonds and half a kilo of ghee [clarified butter].’

But some doctors have questioned the validity of Mr Raghav’s claim. Dr Paramjeet Singh, chief medical officer at Kharkhoda Civil Hospital, where the baby was born in November, said: ‘Having babies at such an age is a remote possibility. It can’t be ruled out.’

If it is true, Mr Raghav will beat current record holder Nanu Ram Jogi, an Indian farmer who fathered his 21st child at the age of 90 in 2007. Mr Raghav actually claims to be more than 100 years old, but pension records give his age as 94.
