印度男子與39個妻子的真實生活
A 66-year-old man in India's remote northeast has 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren, all living under one roof.
印度東北部一個偏遠地區有一位66歲男子,他共有39位妻子、94名兒女和33個孫子女,所有人都生活在一起。They all live in a four storied building with 100 rooms in a mountainous village in Mizoram state, sharing borders with Burma and Bangladesh, according to reports。
據報道,他們全都住在印度米佐拉姆邦一個山村中的一棟四層小樓裏,樓中共有100個房間。米佐拉姆邦與緬甸和孟加拉國接壤。"I once married 10 women in one year," Ziona Chana said。
這名叫齊奧納•查納的男子說:“我曾經在一年內娶了10個老婆。”
His wives share a dormitory near Ziona's private bedroom and locals said he likes to have seven or eight of them by his side at all times。
齊奧納私人臥室旁邊有一間大寢室是他的妻子們共用的,當地人說齊奧納喜歡身邊總是有七八位老婆陪着他。The sons and their wives, and all their children, live in different rooms in the same building, but share a common kitchen。
他的兒子和兒媳們,以及孫輩們住在同一棟樓的不同房間裏,但他們共用一個廚房。The wives take turns cooking, while his daughters clean the house and do washing. The men do outdoor jobs like farming and taking care of livestock。
齊奧納的妻子們和媳婦們輪流做飯,而他的女兒們則負責打掃房子和洗衣服。家庭裏的男人們負責耕種、餵養家畜等戶外工作。The family, all 167 of them, consumes around 200lb of rice and more than 130lb of potatoes a day. They are supported by their own resources and occasional donations from followers。
這個167人的大家庭一天要吃掉約200磅米飯、130多磅土豆。他們基本能自給自足,偶爾也會有追隨者贈送一些食物給他們。"Even today, I am ready to expand my family and willing to go to any extent to marry," Ziona said。
齊奧納說:“即使是現在,我也很願意繼續娶妻,擴大我的家庭。”"I have so many people to care (for) and look after, and I consider myself a lucky man."
“我有這麼多親人可以去關心和照顧,我覺得我是個幸運的人。”Mr Chana met his oldest wife, who is three years older than he is, when he was 17.
查納在17歲時遇到了他最大的老婆,她大他三歲。He heads a local Christian religious sect, called the "Chana", which allows polygamy. Formed in June 1942, the sect believes it will soon be ruling the world with Christ and has a membership of around 400 families。
查納是當地一個叫“查納”的基督教派別的領袖,該教創立於1942年6月,允許一夫多妻制。目前,該教派約有400個家庭的教徒,並且認爲他們很快就會和耶穌一起統治世界。
