A husband and wife in India say they are going to leave all their money to their pet monkey.

Brajesh and Shabista Srivastava say they owe their wealth and success to the monkey, who they believe has enriched their lives. "People might say we are mad, they might even laugh at us," Mrs Srivastava, a 45-year-old lawyer said. "But we know how valuable Chunmun is to us. We are childless and Chunmun is a son to me. We want to ensure that even when we are not alive, Chunmun's life is not affected and he continues to live the way he does."

Mr Srivastava is Hindu while his wife is Muslim and both families disapproved. They started off poor but, they say, since Chunmun came into their lives in 2005, they have done very well. They own their own home and have a number of businesses run by Mr Srivastava, all of which are named after the monkey.

The animal, too, lives in style, with his own air-conditioned room and a mate called Bitti, a monkey who the couple took in to keep their boy company. According to the pair, the monkey enjoys Chinese food and tea and mango juice.

After Chunmun dies, any money left will go to a charity that looks after the monkeys in India.
