A 70-year-old Indian woman has become the oldest woman in the world to give birth to a child. According to Dr. Anurag Bishnoi of the National Fertility Center in northern Haryana, Rajo Devi delivered a baby girl, conceived through in vitro fertilization.

 
Devi claims to be 70 years old while her husband is 72; birth records for the couple are not available. She displaces Carmela Bousada of Spain who in 2006 delivered twin boys at age 66 and Romanian Adriana Iliescu, also 66, who gave birth to a baby girl in 2005.
