She was utterly determined to have a son.
The fact that to do so would make 70-year-old Omkari Panwar the world's oldest mother didn't even cross her mind.
Her resolve was matched by her husband Charan Singh Panwar, 77.
To pay for the IVF treatment vital to producing a male heir to the family's smallholdings, the retired farmer sold his buffalos, mortgaged his land, spent his life savings and took out a credit card loan.
And it all paid off when Mrs Panwar gave birth to twins - a boy and girl - by emergency Caesarean section in hospital in Muzaffarnagar, seven hours drive north of the Indian capital New Delhi.

at 70? more often than not, simple, poor and illiterate folks in our part of the world do not know their correct birth dates and they tend to look much older than they are due to hardships in life. i would take this news with a pinch of salt!

well in that case i can only say may God help us women as we would rather not have to bear such 'miracles'...that too in the shape of a set of twins!

stvalentine,
In a few years when the twins start school, they can look forward to bringing in mom's wheelchair for 'show and tell'.
