Ziona Chana is ‘blessed’ to have his 39 wives, 94 children, 14-daughters-in-law and 33 grandchildren. He has181 members in this family which is considered as the biggest family in the world.They live in a 100-room, four story house set amidst the hills of Baktwang village in the Indian state of Mizoram, where the wives sleep in giant communal dormitories.

The family is organized with almost military discipline, with the oldest wife Zathiangi organizing 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.
