They live in a 100-room, four storey
house set amidst the hills of Baktwang village in the Indian state of Mizoram,
where the wives sleep in giant communal dormitories.
Here is what he told the Sun:
'Today I feel like God's special child. He's given me so
many people to look after. I consider myself a lucky man to be the husband of
39 women and head of the world's largest family. 'To expand my sect, I am
willing to go even to the U.S. to marry,'
The family is organized with almost
military discipline, with the oldest wife Zathiangi organising her fellow
partners to perform household chores such as cleaning, washing and preparing
meals.
One evening meal can see them pluck
30 chickens, peel 132lb of potatoes and boil up to 220lb of rice.
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 villageOne 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.
