The couple delivered twin girls for the first time after their marriage in 1962.[4] Erramatti delivered her twins on 5 September 2019 after being conceived through the process of in-vitro fertilisation via C-section in the city of Hyderabad, making her the world's oldest mother and the oldest mother to give birth to twins.[5]
