Ziona Cana, the father of the largest family in the world with whom he lived in India , has passed away at the age of 76 .
He is a 76-year-old man from the state of Mizoram in India, who had 39 wives, 89 children and 36 grandchildren.
The minister of the Indian state of Zoramthanga confirmed the death and sent his condolences on Twitter.
The man with a family of 181 members
It seems that the 76-year-old Indian suffered from diabetes and hypertension. The doctors who were watching him told the Indian media that his health condition had deteriorated as he continued to live with his large family in the village of Baktang Tlangwam. The man was admitted to the hospital on Sunday afternoon, while a short time later his death was confirmed.
According to a relevant BBC publication, there are other families claiming the title of the largest family in the world. After all, even for the deceased, the numbers of his children differ. According to one report, his children are estimated at 94, his grandchildren at 33, while there is also a great-grandchild. In total, it is estimated that the family members are 181 people.
The house of the “New Generation”
The largest family lives in a four-storey building that has been named “The house of the new generation” and which has 100 rooms. His wives shared a dormitory next to Chana’s bedroom.
The Indian, born in 1945, met his first wife, three years his senior, at just 17 years old.
Polygamy is not a given in all of India and the laws governing family law vary from province to province.
