167 Big Family Under the Same Roof

An Indian man has 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren - all living under the same roof.They all live in a four storey building with 100 rooms in a mountainous village in Mizoram state, in India's remote northeast."I once married 10 women in one year," said Ziona Chana, 66, according to the Daily Telegraph.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 200lb of rice and more than 130lb 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."Mr Chana 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.For the record-EWW. YOU CAN'T JUSTIFY THAT!! NO WAY!! AND WHAT KIND OF RETARD WOULD MARRY THIS SLIMY PIG ANYWAY!!!

  • I didn't know that there could be a big enough house for that many people. Holy jeebers. I thought it was also illegal to marry so many people?
  • It doesn't seem ethical to have so much family, let alone living all together. I would never feel right being part of a family like that.
  • i wouldn't be surprised if their house is five times as big as the white house--- and the white house only has 4 people living in it.

     

  • that would be absolutely horrible. i agree that marriage is just supposed to be between one man and woman, and this lifestyle this family is living is insane, and having so many people around all the time would make me go crazy.
  • Polygamy to the EXTREME!
  • ummm..... this indian man is INSANE! Ths man should stop bragging about marrying so many women, its not cool at all. 10 women in 10 years is not good.
