This is so sad. My day is literally ruined and I want to somehow help these poor sisters. I’m going to find out of there is a fund or something I can donate to. These sisters from Pune are affected with a rare syndrome that causes them to grow hair like this. It’s so rare that one out of a billion people have it, and it was passed down to them by their dad.
That is indeed very sad. Being abnormally hairy is one thing, but they have very large noses as well. They seem to overall look very masculine and their faces are identical, however their height is different so i'm guessing they're not triplets. Are those symptoms of this syndrome as well?
it is very sad...I heard about this before..but it is the first case I heard of girls having it...the one I heard of before is about a guy who is living in Mexcio if i'm not mistake!
^Ditto. That video of one of them saying no one will ever marry them made me cry. It's so sad and they seem like such sweet girls. I can't believe people fire them over noticing their hair. The thing is that since the hair growth is not hormonal but rather genetics, laser would help them immensely.
This is gonna sound really messed up, but here goes. The girls and their mom especially are so concerned about marriage......but then I wonder.....if they were to find husbands.....how happy would they truly be in their marriages and would the husbands even treat them right? Maybe the mother's own husband (who suffered from the disorder) was a nice guy....but was she herself happy with him? Would they "settle" for the first guy that agrees to marry them....and if there's no mutual attraction and compatibility....what kind of a marital life would that be? To get married just to have the title of "Mrs" and not to fall too behind your peers.....is not enough....at least not for me.What they fear so much (singledom) has its blessings as well. Fears about the future can prevent one from enjoying the present.

Yaar, you have to realize these are girls from a village. For most people living in Pakistan and India, being married is a huge relief and accomplishment. Obviously they have been treated like freaks, the first source of acceptance is probably going to be as good as it gets, unfortunately.
Also, the fears are probably fears of being continuous rejection as opposed to being single. I'm sure being married is the least of their concerns.
^While I understand that....it still doesn't invalidate what I had said. While it's their "No one will marry us" comment that hurts you.........FOR ME......it's their ravaged self-esteem that I find more disturbing. Without a healthy self-concept (which isn't solely dependent upon having a husband).....singledom/marital life will be a struggle........even more so if you married someone with whom you have zero compatibility and mutual respect/love/etc. Yes, I get that having that sort of companionship is a basic human need ....yes I get that South Asian culture places so much emphasis on marriage (especially for women)......but an unhealthy marriage (and I hope they find good men) can be much worse...whether they would ever admit that openly is another issue.
^very true. Their self-esteem is pretty much non-existent since even their mom seems repulsed and ashamed of them. She was talking about people calling them beasts and churails in front of them. Of course they're gonna have zero self-esteem and no concept of self-worth.
its really sad 2 read this but 1 question if they got married arnt they afraid of passing this disease to their children? i know every girl wants 2 get married n settled have kids but really if i know i can pass some disease 2 my babies n it will be painful as i can feel now i vl never want 2 get married n have children instead just want to live ahppy contended single life :) but thts just my point of view :)
