The men do outdoor jobs like farming and taking care of livestock.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."Even today, I am ready to expand my family and willing to go to any extent to marry," Ziona said."I have so many people to care (for) and look after, and I consider myself a lucky man."Mr Chana met his oldest wife, who is three years older than he is, when he was 17.He heads a local Christian religious sect, called the Chana, which allows polygamy.Source: orange.com
