The world’s largest family all lives together in a 100-room house in India where the wives all sleep together in gigantic dormitories! On any given night, it can take 30 chickens, 132 pounds of potatoes, and 220 pounds of rice to feed this 181-member largest family in the world. The head of the household, Ziona Chana, is part of a religious sect that allows its members to have as many wives as they wish…and he is constantly searching for more!

At one point, he even married 10 women within the span of one year. Chana sleeps in his own double bed and rotates which wives get to share it with him on a nightly basis – typically, however, the youngest women sleep closer to his room while the older ones sleep further away.

He even married ten women in one year, when he was at his most prolific, and enjoys his own double bed while his wives have to make do with communal dormitories.

He keeps the youngest women near to his bedroom with the older members of the family sleeping further away - and there is a rotation system for who visits Mr Chana's bedroom.

Rinkmini, one of Mr Chana's wives who is 35 years old, said: 'We stay around him as he is the most important person in the house. He is the most handsome person in the village.


Another of his wives, Huntharnghanki, said the entire family gets along well. The family system is reportedly based on 'mutual love and respect'

And Mr Chana, whose religious sect has 4,00 members, says he has not stopped looking for new wives.

'To expand my sect, I am willing to go even to the U.S. to marry,' he said.

One of his sons insisted that Mr Chana, whose grandfather also had many wives, marries the poor women from the village so he can look after them.
