Why marriage is a matter of concern for people with vitiligo

Vitiligo is a non-contagious, non-fatal and non-painful skin condition. It doesn’t spread by living together or having a physical relationship. But, due to lack of awareness about this innocent skin condition, people with vitiligo faces social discrimination and getting married becomes a major challenge.

It has a weak genetic component; various clinical trials have concluded that out of 100, 15-20 people have a family history of vitiligo. It means, someone in the immediate family (parents, siblings), or the close relatives (grandparents, cousins, uncles/aunts) also dealing with the same condition. But, 15-20% is not a big deal. Moreover, there are so many common lifestyle disorders, including diabetes, hypertension, thyroid and asthma, got a genetic link as well. So, why such a big noise about vitiligo? May be because the other issues are skin deep, whereas vitiligo patches are just there on the skin; exposed to the whole world.

Medically, vitiligo is not dangerous. It doesn’t pose any serious, long term effects on the physical and mental health of a person. But, people’s discriminating behavior can make someone low in self esteem to develop a tendency of social isolation.

There are many incidences where spreading of vitiligo after marriage becomes the ground for divorce because the same partner who was completely comfortable with vitiligo before marriage now don’t want to continue anymore with a person having these lifelong white skin patches. In such incidences, most of the times, the women become the victim because there is a sort of obsession for flawless skin and every husband wants a perfect wife with clear skin. Even if the husband accepts vitiligo, the in-laws can compel to break the marriage because they may afraid of vitiligo in next generation (kids) also.

Considering all these complications, many youngsters are choosing their life partners with the same skin condition so that they don’t need to worry about their skin condition anymore. Having lost enough time on trying various treatments and fighting the social stigma, now they wish to focus on their ‘real’ life goals. When the partner has the skin condition, there is no threat even if it increases after marriage. The in-laws will also not develop any unrealistic expectations as far as skin condition is concerned.

To sum up, instead of seeking a so-called ‘normal’ skinned person and spending the whole life in a constant anxiety and stress that one day your life-partner may leave you alone, it’s better to marry someone who accepts you as you are considering all the long term consequences of vitiligo.
