Record for the largest number of wives: Indian Zion Chan has not 10 or even 30 wives
“If I were a sultan, I would have three wives…” Who is not familiar with the lines of this song from the film “Kidnapping, Caucasian Style?”
And if the hero of Yuri Nikulin could not decide how many women he needed for complete happiness, then the Indian Ziona Chana, born in 1945, knew for sure that three life partners were not enough for him.
The man entered the Guinness Book of Records as the head of the largest family.
Zion Chan has 39 wives, 94 children of his own, 14 children of his wives and 33 grandchildren, a total of 180 people.
All the relatives are huddled in one huge 4-story house, where there are more than 100 rooms, including a school, carpentry workshops, a garden and a chicken coop.
The Indian citizen first got married at the age of 17, and since then, apparently, there was no stopping him. The man registered his last relationship at the age of 59.
The polygamist was the leader of the Christian sect "New Generation Church", which was founded by his grandfather.
He passed away in the summer of 2021, at the age of 76, due to hypertension.
