Meet the world’s largest family.

If you’ve ever worried about having enough room for a growing brood, spare a thought for Ziona Chana.

He has 39 wives, 94 children, 14 daughters-in-law and 33 grandchildren living under the same roof.

Home is a 100-room, four-storey house set in the hills of the village of Baktawng in the Indian state of Mizoram. Even then, some of his wives sleep top-to-tail in communal dormitories.

But Ziona doesn’t appear fazed by the size of his apparently happy family - and doesn’t claim any benefits for their upkeep.
