Families come in all sizes these days and it's more common now to have a smaller family, since it tends to be more affordable. But here is a record breaker for you, The world's biggest family: The man with 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren! In Baktwang village in Mizoram, which is a state of India that boarders on Bangladesh and Myanmar, there lives Ziona Chana and his incredibly large family. He is apparently a part of a sect that allows it's members to have as many wives as they want. So he took on 39 wives and has children with them all, if you can believe it!

He doesn't at all consider it a burden either, he considers it a gift that he is able to take care of all of these people and he feels very blessed to be able to do so. All of the family lives in the same house as well! It is a 100 bedroom mansion that is painted a cheery lilac color with white accents, and one photo in the article shows all of the family members standing out on the many balconies. It's really amazing to see how many people are in one family! The house is also a record breaker as the biggest house in the state!

All of the family members seem quite content and happy to be a part of this family. The photo of them all together looks like a school photo with teachers and children rather than a family, if you didn't know any better. They have to cook up to 30 chickens just for one meal, if you can imagine! This family would cost a lot to feed! But they seem to have it all under control and have a way of life that suits them just fine!
