The elderly woman became pregnant after undergoing treatment and artificial insemination over two years. Her 79-year-old husband Kaur is the biological father of the child.

Daljinder Kaur has thus repeated the feat of another woman, Rajo Devi Lohan. In November 2008, she became the oldest woman in the world to become pregnant through artificial insemination. Lohan was 70 at the time and nearly died from complications caused by childbirth.
