One Indian woman may go down in history as one of the oldest women to ever give birth. She is currently the second oldest mother in the world. Daljinder Kaur, whose age is estimated at 78, gave birth to a son on April 19, 2016 named Arman, which means “wish” in Hindi. The baby was the first child for Kaur and her then 79-year-old husband, Mohinder Singh Gill, after almost 46 years of marriage.
They fought for their dream for over 46 years. Childlessness in India is a real tragedy and shame for the family
In a society that places great importance on marriage and children, they were an extraordinary couple. Many Indian women are abandoned by their husbands if their relationship remains childless. But the woman’s husband, Mohinder Singh Gill, 79, was devoted to her and never blamed her.
He says no one has ever made them the butt of jokes or snide remarks. “How could they? Everyone knows that all couples want to have a baby, so how could they say something bad about us?” – says.
