據英國《每日郵報》10月20日報道，印度一名叫錫安納的男子有39個老婆，94個孩子，14個兒媳以及33個孫子，他們一起生活在一棟擁有100個房間的四層大房子！是不是很匪夷所思呢？那哪是一個小家庭，完全就是一個大家族了！

If you've ever worried about having enough room for a growing brood, spare a thought for Ziona Chana.

He has 39 wives, 94 children, 14 daughters-in-law and 33 grandchildren living under the same roof.

Home is a 100-room, four-storey house set in the hills of the village of Baktawng in the Indian state of Mizoram. Even then, some of his wives sleep top-to-tail in communal dormitories.

But Ziona doesn't appear fazed by the size of his apparently happy family—and doesn't claim any benefits for their upkeep.

"I consider myself a lucky man to be the husband of 39 women and head of the world's largest family."

The family is organised with almost military discipline, with the oldest wife Zathiangi, 69, drawing up schedules for her fellow partners to take turns performing 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.

The compound has its own school, a playground, carpentry workshops, piggery and poultry farms and a vegetable garden big enough to supply the whole family.

Ziona is also head of a sect that allows members to take as many wives as he wants.

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 sharing.

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 Ziona's bedroom.

And Ziona, whose polygamous religious sect has 4,000 members, says he has not stopped looking for new wives.

"To expand my sect, I am willing to go even to the US to marry", he said.

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

如果你曾為孩子漸漸長大沒有足夠的房間而擔憂，那么想想錫安納吧。

他有39個老婆，94個孩子，14個兒媳以及33個孫子，這么多人生活在同一屋檐下。

他的家是一棟擁有100個房間的四層大房子，坐落在印度米佐拉姆邦巴克道恩村的小山中。即便這樣，錫安納的一些老婆還是打對頭地睡在公用的宿舍里。

但是錫安納并沒有因為他幸福大家庭的這種規(guī)模而表現出任何狼狽之態(tài)——也沒有以供養(yǎng)家庭為由提出任何利益上的要求。

“我覺得自己是個很幸運的人，能成為39個女人的丈夫，并且是世界上最大的家庭的一家之主。”

這個大家庭實行的幾乎是軍事化的管理，錫安納最年長的妻子薩席安吉現年69歲，她負責為太太們制定日程表，安排大家輪流做家務，比如清掃、洗衣服和做飯。

這家人一頓晚飯要消耗掉30只雞、132磅土豆和220磅大米。

他們擁有自己的學校、游樂場、木工工場和畜牧場，還有一個很大的菜園，足以讓這一大家人自給自足。

錫安納還是印度一個教派（查那教）的領袖，這一教派正如他所希望的那樣，允許教徒迎娶多個妻子。

他最高紀錄甚至曾在一年內娶了十個老婆，在家里他自己獨享一張雙人大床，他的妻子們則必須幾人同宿。

錫安納總是把最年輕的妻子安頓在離自己臥室較近的房間，年長的則住得比較遠——而且每天由誰進入主臥和他同宿，都有固定的輪換制度。

錫安納，這個擁有4000名教眾的多妻制教派的領袖，似乎并不打算停止尋找新的伴侶。

“為了發(fā)揚教派，我還想去美國娶妻”，他說。

錫安納的一個兒子堅稱，他的父親迎娶村子里貧困的女人其實是為了能更好地照顧她們。錫安納的爺爺也娶了很多老婆。
