Sometimes eight just isn’t enough. Or at least it isn’t for Ziona Chana, who has the world’s largest family: 39 wives, 94 children, and 33 grandchildren.
Chana and his family live in a 100-room, four-story mansion in the Indian state of Mizoram where they all sleep and eat together. Everyone helps perform household chores, which is overseen by the oldest wife Zathiangi. One dinner alone requires plucking 30 chickens, peeling 132 pounds of potatoes, and cooking 220 pounds of rice.
The wives sleep in communal dormitories with the youngest women sleeping closest to Chana and a rotation system for visitations. Chana once married ten women in one year.
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.
Chana, who is the leader of a religious sect, says he hopes to expand his religion. “To expand my sect, I am willing to go even to the U.S. to marry.”
If they do manage to make it to the U.S., I smell a new reality show in the works.
Just as Chidi commented ,there`s a man from Niger state in the Northern part of Nigeria who has a larger family than Ziona`s.So this indian isnt the one with the largest family.
mujhe to ye samajh nahi aa raha hai ki itne sari wives ek sath kaise raha lati hoongi. unka to lad lad ker bura hal ho jata hoga .sath me husband sahab ko roj sar dard ki medicine lanne hoti hogi
Absurd! this is good for people who thinks women is a second class citizen and men are the kings of the females!
he must enjoyed doing sex with his wives 🙂 , Intead of using prostitue, he has done something legal and aids free 🙂
Cheers 🙂
How is it AIDS free? What if one of the women had AIDS… bam… suddenly they all have it.
I think Ziona Chana, is a Womaniser & a KAMA PISACHI . I do not know which girl has married for a person who has married . How can he have 39 wives ? why GOVT is keeping quiet . He is enjoying women for sex . He must be sent to the JAIL .
Even if he has sex with one women it takes 39 days to get the same women for sex. These people are having RESPECT IN SOCIETY.
Pl send this bugger to jail .

Cherian, you are an idiot
I agree with Rahul. I think you are jealous of Ziona Chana.
There is a man from Niger state Nigeria who married 89 wives and sired over 3000 children. He was charged to Sharia court for marrying more than four women as stipulated in the Koran. His family should be the world biggest.
I really don’t know what to think of polygamy anymore, other than I’m certain it isn’t for me. I couldn’t be a member of a poly household no matter what the circumstances. However, I also sort of see it as maybe being personal choice…..maybe some people and families CAN function better this way. I have no idea how children raised in this environment would develop – if their adult relationships would be impacted and/or how; if they would form secure attachments to their mothers (hell, that’s if they can even IDENTIFY their mothers) or if they would be capable of… Read more »
The whole religious thing and imbalance of power thing freaks me out.
Religious poly and sorta liberated new age poly are quite different beasts. Mainly lack of a gender double standard is the main difference.
The poly folks I knew back in SF are the new age kind. There’s no ‘sorta’ about it, it’s consensual, though out of five situations, only two are polyandrous. None are religiously-based.
