Hailing from a tribal area in Gujarat, this farmer couple has one son and 16 daughters, but their pursuit for a second male child towered over their discretion. Until, "the villagers persuaded us to put a full stop to our family expansion," the 44-year-old father told the publication.
“First, I wanted a son for our old age. After I fathered so many girls, I desperately wanted sons to look after my girls. But that didn’t happen," he added.
But on persuasion of villagers, he and his 40-year-old wife have finally embraced family planning.
All's well that ends well.
