Man has 39 wives, nearly 100 children

[Angry Monkey]

The more, the merrier is certainly true for Ziona Chana, a 66-year-old man in India's remote northeast who has 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren -- and wouldn't mind having more.
They all live in a four storied building with 100 rooms in a mountainous village in Mizoram state, sharing borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh, media reports said.
"I once married 10 women in one year," he was quoted as saying.
His wives share a dormitory near Ziona's private bedroom and locals said he likes to have seven or eight of them by his side at all times.
The sons and their wives, and all their children, live in different rooms in the same building, but share a common kitchen.
The wives take turns cooking, while his daughters clean the house and do washing. The men do outdoor jobs like farming and taking care of livestock.
The family, all 167 of them, consumes around 91 kg (200 pounds) of rice and more than 59 kg (130 pounds) of potatoes a day. They are supported by their own resources and occasional donations from followers.
"Even today, I am ready to expand my family and willing to go to any extent to marry," Ziona said.
"I have so many people to care (for) and look after, and I consider myself a lucky man."
Ziona met his oldest wife, who is three years older than he is, when he was 17.
He heads a local Christian religious sect, called the "Chana," which allows polygamy. Formed in June 1942, the sect believes it will soon be ruling the world with Christ and has a membership of around 400 families.

[Immortalfire]

For a moment, I thought this was a thread about Travis Henry.

 

[HighFivingMF]

What if the kids miss the school bus?

this has nothing to do with my life and I have no idea what kind of discussion you thought would arise from this news. So I do not know what to say about this, apart from, that guy should not be doing this! Just because he has 39 penises does not mean he should have 39 wives. Now, there are children out there with 39 penises and they will probably marry 39 women and have another 100 children with 39 penises, and that cycle will repeat itself until the whole world is nothing but that guy's extended 39 penises hamster family.
I am starting to feel like that guy in the Thing who has just done the math on the situation.

Mr. Chana has nothing on King Solomon, who had 700 wives, or August the Strong, King Of Poland, Elector of Saxony, and Duke of Lithuania, who had 365.
Also, Mr. Chana has the same amount of wives as King Mongut I of Siam (of The King and I) who, however, had 9,000 concubines.

Biological perogative. Go forth, be plentiful. The meaning of life is having children after all.

 

[Harls]

Getting married is ridiculous in general.

If they're all happy & nobody's abused or anything, then yeah, good for them

 

[Alchemyst]

damn....he's gettin it in. Treat them all right and take care of your children....child support for him will kill him immediately

 

[Hotwire]

Yeah, like India doesn't have enough problems with overpopulation! This guys needs it cut off! It really pisses me off when I hear about families having an outrageous number of children. These people should really think about the impact that having this many kids has on their community. I mean, look at the amount resources they consume on a daily basis! This is just ridiculous!

 

[Spider-Vader]

He would be in India lol. Well, atleast he has alot of people to take care of him when he's old.

 

[Danalys]

2.5 kids per wife so not over population really. just 38 less women for the other men around there.

 

[SuperFerret]

7 billion people is over-population. I have no problem with excess breeding. I do have a problem with a severe lack in checks on population. We badly need a plague or natural disaster or a primary predator or something.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

At this rate India is going to be crippled by over-population and China will thrive be getting it under control.

 

[Casius--J]

Fair play to him if he can handle all those women and still provide a good life for the entire family. One woman is more than enough for me.

i meant the family isn't an unfairly contributing factor.

 

[SuperFerret]

I'm aware.
