Mariam Nabatanzi, 39, a mother of 38 children, takes a family portrait with some of her children at their home in Kasawo village, Uganda.
Mariam Nabatanzi gave birth to twins a year after she was married at the age of 12. Five more sets of twins followed — along with four sets of triplets and five sets of quadruplets.
Key points:
- Ms Nabatanzi has had four sets of triplets and five sets of quadruplets
- Her stepmother poisoned her five siblings with crushed glass mixed in their food.
- The world record of birthing 69 children belongs to a Russian peasant from the 1700s
Three years ago, however, the 39-year-old Ugandan was abandoned by her husband, leaving her to support their surviving 38 children alone.
Mariam Nabatanzi was married at age 12 and started having multiple sets of twins shortly after.
