Men at all times in different countries of the world have tried, under various pretexts, to legitimize their polygamy. Even where religion does not approve of polygamy. This phenomenon is not typical for India, but in the state of Mizoram (Mizoram), a few wives are not surprising. Ziona Chana - founder of a religious sect welcoming polygamy … There are many of his followers in his village, but he himself has surpassed all - he has 39 wives, 95 children and 35 grandchildren! This record is recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest family in the world.
In the village of Baktwang, only one family lives in a 4-storey building - a local landmark, the wives, children and grandchildren of a 70-year-old polygamist. The head of the family has a separate room, everyone else lives in large halls. In the same house there is a school, carpentry workshops, a chicken coop, a shed for pigs - everything that is needed for a completely autonomous existence of a micro-state.
Ziona Chana believes that God blessed him, and did not punish him in this way: “I consider myself a happy person - I have 39 wives, and I am the head of the largest family in the world,” he said in an interview with the London newspaper “Sun”. The Chan sect has 400 adherents who are allowed to marry as many women as they please.
There is strict discipline and subordination in a large family. The main wife is the oldest and the very first of all - Zatiandji. She directs all other wives, daughters and daughters-in-law. Her primary task is to organize work in the kitchen, because one dinner consumes 100 kg of rice, 30 chickens, 60 kg of potatoes. The rest of the wives also do the laundry and cleaning.
The youngest wife is 27 years old, and Ziona is not going to stop there, he fully admits the idea of a new marriage. In one of the years he married 10 women at once. 37-year-old Ngaizuali considers herself a beloved wife, because her husband has allowed her to comb him daily for 18 years.
In his youth, Ziona Chana was not going to marry - he saw how difficult it was for his father with 7 wives. But later he got a taste - probably realized the advantages of a polygamous family: everyone fulfills their duties, he is considered the most handsome man in the village and the most important person in the house.
The state does not provide assistance to a large family - all sons work as carpenters, like Ziona Chana, and support women. The head of the family is proud that they have enough money for clothes and food.
The wives perform their conjugal duty in turn, and they do not mind this. At the same time, young wives live in a huge house next to his bedroom, and those that are older live in distant rooms. No one is offended - mutual respect and love are cultivated in the family.
Cases of polygamy are also found in the United States: religious community in the Utah desert
