A
70-year-old man has stunned people with confession after revealing that
he has fathered as many as 54 kids with several wives.
Abdul Majeed Mengal and his large family
Abdul Majeed Mengal, a 70-year-old truck driver claims to have
fathered 54 children with six wives because he ‘had to have sex daily’
when he was younger.
According to Metro UK, Abdul Majeed Mengal, from Nushki, in
Pakistan, says he’s had more than 50 children in his lifetime but
tragically 12 of them died.
He now has 22 sons and 20 daughters and four wives after two also passed away.
Abdul said: ‘In the early days, my strength was good and I had
to have s*x daily. But some of my kids died. I worked hard and provided a
good education to my older sons.
‘But now I’m an old man these things are out of my hands.’
Abdul married his first wife when he was 18-years-old and went on to marry five other women.
He said: ‘They [the babies] were not getting enough milk and I was out of money so they died.
‘One of my wives died alongside our baby. She was ill and
because we didn’t have any money she died. I was helpless and
unemployed.’
As a truck driver, he earns between 15,000 Pakistan Rupees (£115)
and 25,000 Pakistan Rupees (£192) a month depending on the work
available.
His oldest son, Abdul Bari Mengal, who is now 32-years-old, helps
out his father and family by also working as a truck driver to feed the
household.
The entire family all live under one-roof in a seven-bedroom house where the children sleep separately with their mothers.
The majority of the children are aged 10 or under while his youngest child is aged just two.
He insists that they all get along and manage somehow, saying: ‘We
normally eat dal, ladyfinger and vegetables and around 100 rotis every
meal time. This is the way we live. But we are managing somehow.
‘Good clothes are costly so we rely on four to five rolls of fabric for the kids and we make clothes out of that.’
Abdul said he juggles the affections of each of his 42 children by
taking turns to attend family events with each of them and their
mothers.
Under Islam, Pakistani men are allowed to marry up to four wives so
long as they have sought permission from their first wife and an
arbitration council.
