Meet Karam and Kartari Chand—the couple with the longest known marriage in the world. This 109-year-old husband and 102-year-old wife have been happily married for more than 88 years. After leaving their farm in India during the 1960s, they immigrated to the United Kingdom and settled in northern England. Surrounded by a family of eight children, 27 grandchildren, and dozens of great-grandchildren, Karam and Kartari Chand celebrate another year of love and laughter in this short film by
Glen Milner.
