The Supreme Court in New Delhi has ordered the Bihar government to give financial help to 17-year-old conjoined twin sisters Saba and Farah Saleem and take care of their medical expenses along with regular check ups.
The court ordered the government of the eastern state of Bihar to pay 5,000 rupees (£60, $92) a month to the parents to meet the twins' medical expenses.

The twins share blood vessels to the brain and only one has kidneys. They welcomed the court's ruling. "The court's verdict will provide us time to live together - like we have since birth," Saba said.
Saba and Farah, who are mostly bed-ridden, hail from a poor family in Bihar with their father running a small roadside eatery in the city of Patna.
