An Indian woman who gave birth at age 70 said on 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 after two years of in vitro fertilization 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 having a child and had faced ridicule in a country where infertility is sometimes seen as a curse from God.
