Omkari Panway, a 70-year old Indian mother gave birth to twins: a girl and a boy, the Scotsman and Daily Mail read on their online editions. Omkari's family had two girls and five nephews but she wished for a boy and decided to make use of modern in vitro fertilization.

She explained her decision arguing that her family needed an heir. Her husband, age 77 decided to fulfill the woman's wish and sold his animals, his farm, made a loan in order to pay for the treatment.

The twins are healthy and have a chance to survive, doctors declare. Thus, Omkari beats the record previously set by 66-year old Romanian mother Adriana Iliescu who gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in 2005.
