An Indian woman who gave birth
at the age of 70 said Tuesday she was not too old to become a first-time
mother, adding that her life was now complete. Daljinder Kaur gave birth last
month to a boy following two years of IVF treatment at a fertility clinic in
the northern state of Haryana with her 79-year-old husband.
Kaur said the couple, married
for 46 years, had almost lost hope of ever having a child and had faced
ridicule in a country where infertility is sometimes seen as a curse from God.
"God heard our prayers. My
life feels complete now. I am looking after the baby all by myself, I feel so
full of energy. My husband is also very caring and helps me as much as he
can," Kaur told AFP.
