The court ruled there was a "real and substantial risk" they would be forced to marry.
The girls, now aged 12 and 14, became wards of court in 2007 after their parents made plans to send them to Pakistan.
Two of their older brothers had been forced into marriage there in 2005.
SICK.
THERE SHOULD BE NO PLACE WITHIN CIVILIZED HUMANITY FOR AN IDEOLOGY WHICH TEACHES THAT IT'S FINE FOR PARENTS TO FORCE DAUGHTERS INTO MARRIAGE AT AGE 9, AND WHICH ENCOURAGES PARENTS TO TEACH THEIR SONS THAT MURDERING SISTERS CAN RESTORE FAMILY HONOR.
SUCH AN IDEOLOGY SHOULD BE ERASED FROM THE FACE OF TH EARTH - AS SLAVERY WAS.
