A 70-year-old man from Nushki, Quetta in Pakistan claims to have had 54 children over the course of his life.
Abdul Majeed Mengal, who has worked as a truck driver all his life, says he has had a total of six wives, with two having died.
He told a local media outlet that he had so many children because in his youth, he had so much energy that he "had to be intimate daily."

In the interview, Mengal said: "In the early days, my strength was good and I had to be intimate daily. But some of my kids died. I worked hard and provided a good education to my older sons."
He added that he married his first wife at the age of 18 and tragically, he lost 12 of his children due to poverty-induced malnutrition.
