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. More Pictures
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."
