AMAZING BUT TRUE

A man with 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren live under one roof.

Mr Ziona lives in a four storied building with 100 rooms in the State of Mizoram.

And you know who all live in this 100 room building – the 66 years old Ziona with his 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren – a total of 167 persons live under one roof. The family consumes around 200lb of rice and more than 130lb of potatoes every day. And the gentleman has not yet called it a day and is willing to go to any extent to marry and expand his family.

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.

Mr. Ziona 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.
