He is head of the world's biggest family - and says he is 'blessed' to have his 39 wives.

Ziona Chana also has 94 children, 14-daughters-in-law and 33 grandchildren.

They live in a 100-room, four storey house set amidst the hills of Baktwang village in the Indian state of Mizoram, where the wives sleep in giant communal dormitories.

You treat this place like a hotel: With 100 rooms the Ziona mansion is the biggest concrete structure in the hilly village of Baktawng

Mr Chana told the Sun: 'Today I feel like God's special child. He's given me so many people to look after.

'I consider myself a lucky man to be the husband of 39 women and head of the world's largest family.'

The family is organised with almost military discipline, with the oldest wife Zathiangi organising 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.

Coincidentally, Mr Chana is also head of a sect that allows members to take as many wives as he wants.

The wives and I: Mr Ziona Chana poses with his 39 wives at their home in Baktawang, Mizoram, India

He even married ten women in one year, when he was at his most prolific, and enjoys his own double bed while his wives have to make do with communal dormitories.

He keeps the youngest women near to his bedroom with the older members of the family sleeping further away - and there is a rotation system for who visits Mr Chana's bedroom.

Rinkmini, one of Mr Chana's wives who is 35 years old, said: 'We stay around him as he is the most important person in the house. He is the most handsome person in the village. [/LEFT]

She says Mr Chana noticed her on a morning walk in the village 18 years ago and wrote her a letter asking for her hand in marriage.

Another of his wives, Huntharnghanki, said the entire family gets along well. The family system is reportedly based on 'mutual love and respect'

And Mr Chana, whose religious sect has 4,00 members, says he has not stopped looking for new wives.

'To expand my sect, I am willing to go even to the U.S. to marry,' he said.

One of his sons insisted that Mr Chana, whose grandfather also had many wives, marries the poor women from the village so he can look after them.

wow

This is taking "It takes a village" a little far.

And he looks like an average motherfucker. (yes interesting choice of words)

That cat's done some serious fuckin'.

All that raw pussy gotta wonder about diseases and shit?

This would out do the mormon polygamists.

that pic with all of the wives together looks very telling- they all look beat down and torn up- and one of them in the back row right look like a minor-

you would litterally have to bed one different wife 2 times a day iin order to make babies with them all- the probability of bearing a child is 15% each month and the window for that is 24-36 hours- so technically the number of wives he has vs, the number of children is not all that impressive.... or something like that

I wonder how many of those offspring consist of double relations or how many of them are really his. As old as he is I'm sure he's wandered into the wrong room on more than one occasion and these women don't appear to be chained to their beds so uh...a little afternoon stroll in the village every now and then...

LOL at you trying to make some sense of this, this man is a mess and he still wants more lol His wives living quarters look like sweat shops.

Whoa whoa whoa...SHARED BEDROOMS!? Oy....how do the wives deal with it when he's givin' it to one of the other ones?

C'mon...even Fundamentalist Mormons have their wives in separate bedrooms. This guy's competition...

And Nick....before you think that's a lot of pussy...remember....39 wives...not girlfriends

Yikes!

Giving new meaning to the phrase "BIG PIMPIN"

My favorite part:

He keeps the youngest women near to his bedroom with the older members of the family sleeping further away - and there is a rotation system for who visits Mr Chana's bedroom.

It's a lifestyle choice

They don't look exactly happy on the photos with their husband.

Let a woman from that culture or any culture try having 39 husbands and see what happens. I can just envision the stones being thrown.

oh my.
