Grandmother aged 70 gives birth to twins and sets new world record as oldest mother

70-year-old Omkari Panwar was utterly determined to have a son, because a son will benefit from a dowry when he marries and will be able to work their land .The Panwars already have two adult daughters, and five grandchildren.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.
