This
story first broke out last year as reported by Sun Newspaper (UK) but
the gist is that these three sisters who are based in India say their
dreams of getting married is a nightmare and fear they will never find
husbands because of their uncontrollable hair growth!
The
sisters are suffering from Hypertrichosis Universalis simply referred
to as Werewolf Syndrome; a condition affecting just one in a billion
people means
their bodies are covered in extra hair — giving them extremely bushy eyebrows and beards.
And Savita, 23, Monisha, 18, and 16-year-old Savitri fear the will leave as life-long spinsters.
Savita
said: “Marriage is not an option for us. Who is going to marry us when
hair keeps growing on our faces?” The sisters are now using hair removal
cream but the hair returns too quickly to maintain.
Savita added: “When I used to go to school the boys and girls would shout ‘hairy face’, ‘horrible looking’,
and ‘don’t sit next to her’.”
The
condition was passed down by the girls’ father with whom Anita was
forced into an arranged marriage by her uncle and aunt when she was 12.
She
said: “It was only on the day of my marriage that I discovered what my
husband was, hairy on his face, ears and body. He scared the hell out of
me when he arrived at the altar."
