If we thought that with a large family of three, four or five children, it was difficult to organize, I do not want to imagine what it has to be to prepare a meal or do laundry in this large family. The largest family in the world is in India and has 167 members.
This family could not help but appear in the Guinness Book of Records, along with the unusual case of women with more children in history (69 children!).
The "trick" is that it is a polygamous family, in which the father of the family, Ziona Chana, has 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren. But how is this big family organized?
To start, they live in a building for all of them, with 100 rooms. The wives take turns sharing the father's bed (the older ones sleep in more remote rooms), need 30 chickens for dinner alone and apply a high dose of discipline and organization to carry out household chores.
Mr. Chana, who has finally agreed to photograph himself with his large family to enter the Guinness, He claims to feel like a special and fortunate being for having had the possibility of caring for so many people. He is the head of a sect that allows members to have as many wives as they want, getting married up to 10 times in the same year. And he says he keeps looking ...
More than a "sect," the patriarch declares himself a practitioner of a sectarian split of the Presbyterian cult, and over him weighs the responsibility of the spiritual, economic and social life of the community.
In this sense, one of his children points out that his father chooses the poor women in the community and marries them to help them get ahead. And what will happen to poor men? Hopefully this "sectarian split" will also have mercy on them, if you have so many resources, as it seems.
If we ask about relationships and affections between family members, it seems that there are no disagreements and everyone gets along very well, basing their relationship on mutual love and respect.
I have not stopped to tell the staff of the photograph (well, actually, although I have lost myself), but surely there will be more than 167 members, including the 14 daughter-in-law of the patriarch.
The largest family in the world (as we know) has finally been photographed in his home, in the village of Baktawng (Mizoram state), northeast of India. I will not complain again about the lack of organization in my tiny family.
