Ziona Chana is head of the world's biggest family with 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren.
They all live together in a massive 100-room mansion in Baktwang village where his wives sleep in dormitories and take it in turns to sleep in his bed. The needs of his family are so great that it takes 30 whole chickens to feed them all for one meal.
The family is organised 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.

39 wives? Forget that...I can't even handle my girlfriend, much less her times 39! I'd totally hang myself, or *slit wrists* lol LOL yeah that is nuts! If I were one of the wives I'd probably get jealous with the other 38. Must be a lot of arguing going on there. I don't understand how they can do that not to mention the poor children.

Well, what's the point if they all know about each other? What fun is that? If you have 94 kids, do you even know when they're having a sleep over? "Uh, honey?" "Yes?" "Is that one of mine?" "No, dear, that's little Billy from down the street." "Good lord, Woman, don't we have enough mouths to feed?" Do they have a weekly birthday party. Every saturday, everyone gathers around, sings happy birthday, and random presents are given out. Trying to spend quality time with the kids would be fun. "Daddy" "Yes, honey?" "Tommy hit me" "Who's Tommy?" "He's my brother" "You have a brother named Tommy? Wh... [More]

My girlfriend is a handful even when she's not on her period. I couldn't even begin to fathom the amount of nagging and crankiness provided that it was her multiplied by 39. O__o;;;

the women shouldnt be synced, since they all sleep with him. his smell should keep them normal. but if it was me i would rather have them all synced. that way the it is all over in a week and doesnt take the whole month. those of you who back same sex marriage, how dare you condemn this man and his wives. they seem to know about each other. they are all adults if they want to leave all they have to do is walk out or call for help.

Most handsome man....in his WHOLE village. I'm impressed....but there has to be something more. Maybe size does matter? I mean the size of the mansion, of course. And you get instant sister-wives to be your BFF's!

The names "Walder Frey" and "Craster" come to mind.

He owns a 100 room mansion so he has money. There's your answer right there. Yeah, he sells his "man juice" to sperm banks.
