Dr Shabir Sidiqui, a maternity specialist from Kashmir, told local reporters that the case is the 'rarest of the rare'.

'Usually menopause sets in on an average at the age of 47 years in India. Once it sets in, there is no possibility (of giving birth). But this is a rare one,' he said.

If Kaur's claims are true, then it would make her the oldest mother in the world to have conceived the baby naturally.

Most women giving birth after the age of 50 rely on IVF treatment, having already gone through the menopause.

The world's current oldest verified mother is Maria del Carmen Bousada de Lara, from Spain, who gave birth aged 66 to twins via IVF in 2006.

However, many have claimed to have children at much more advanced ages, including another Indian woman named Daljinder Kaur.

Kaur claimed in April 2016 that she had given birth to a son aged 72 via IVF after two previous treatments had failed.
