World's large families

Ziona Chana's big family poses for a family photo on Jan 30, 2011, in Mizoram, India. With 181 members, the Indian family residing at Baktawng village in the northeast state of Mizoram is probably the largest in the world. The 67-year-old Ziona, who heads the family, lives in a four-story purple mansion with his 39 wives, 94 children and 14 daughters-in-law and over 40 grandchildren. His mansion, called Chhuanthar Run, which means “The House of the New Generation,” is the biggest concrete structure in this hilly village, about 80 km from Aizawl, the capital of Mizoram. There are more than 100 rooms inside the Chana mansion.[Photo/CFP]
