An Indian woman may have shattered the record for the world’s oldest mother by giving birth at the age of 70. Omkari Panwar delivered a boy and a girl in a hospital in Muzaffarnagar, seven hours drive north of New Delhi. She risked her life and exhausted her husband’s meagre savings to produce a male heir. “If I am the world's oldest mother it means nothing to me,” she told the press. “I just want to see my new babies and care for them while I am still able... My daughters have got a little brother, my husband and I have got an heir – that is all we ever wanted." Mrs Panwar’s age is a bit uncertain, as she does not have a birth certificate. But she says that she was 9 when the British Raj left India in 1947, making her 70. Her husband is delighted: “I can die a happy man and a proud father," he says. ~ Telegraph (UK), July 4
