The story is incredible.  70 years old and pregnant.  70 years old with a newborn kid.  A first time mother.  But reading the story gets even weirder:

The couple said they were facing social stigma for being childless for the last 55 years.

55 years of social stigma? Sounds kind of harsh.  Sounds kind of sad, too, that they never got over it.  Social stigma is one thing — like being an interracial couple, an interfaith couple, or a same sex couple.

But a childless couple? In India? Which is, you know, sort of known for an orphan problem? Where they could have just picked up any number of kids from the street and become parents right away? Why would they have stigma? Why not adopt.

Then we get it:

“Rajo is the eldest of four siblings. She is elder to me by about 16 years. We all prayed she would get a child and even married our other sister to Bala Ram in this hope. Now the whole family is very happy that she has a child,” said Chand Ram, Rajo Devi’s brother who is a sub inspector in Haryana Police at Panchkula.

Indian woman gives birth at age of 70 – Telegraph

Yes.  This 70 year old woman has been getting crap from her baby brother about not having a baby of her own.  She’s gotten enough crap for 55 years (ok, not all of it was from him since she’s been stigmatized since she was 15 — a year before her brother was born).

So what did she do? She caved.  She got fertility treatment and popped a baby out. This is like an SNL skit: not funny.
