A man in India has the biggest family in the world, reported Daily Mail on Friday.

The man named, Ziona Chana, has a total of 180 family members, including 39 wives, 94 children, 14 daughters-in-law and 33 grandchildren living under the same house which has 100 rooms.

All of the family has lived together in the four-story house set in the hills of the village of Baktawng in the Indian state of Mizoram. For one meal, they need 30 chickens, 60 kg potatoes and rice 100 kg.

The family is organized with almost military discipline, with the oldest wife Zathiangi, 69, drawing up schedules for her fellow partners to take turns performing household chores such as cleaning, washing and preparing meals.

Conveniently, Ziona is a head of a sect that allows its members to take as many wives as he wants. He even married 10 women in one year, when he was at his most prolific.

“I feel like God’s special child. He’s given me so many people to look after,” he said. “I consider myself a lucky man to be the husband of 39 women and head of the world’s largest family.”
