Unknowing twins marry each other
A set of British twins who were separated at birth went on to marry each other without realizing they were related, the UK Press Association reported Friday.
The brother and sister, who were adopted by separate parents, were given an annulment after a High Court judge ruled that the marriage had never been valid.
Their identities and details of their relationship have been kept secret, but the Press Association reported that the duo did not find out that they were blood relatives until after they were married.
David Alton, a member of the House of Lords, revealed their situation as a way of highlighting perceived shortcomings in the Human Embryology and Tissues Bill which is now going through Britain's Parliament.
He first heard of the twins' marriage in a conversation with a High Court judge, and initially raised the case in a House of Lords debate on December 10.
Alton said: "(The brother and sister) met later in life and felt an inevitable attraction, and the judge had to deal with the consequences of the marriage that they entered into and all the issues of their separation.
"I suspect that it will be a matter of litigation in the future if we do not make information of this kind available to children who have been donor-conceived."
Alton is concerned that the new bill would allow the biological identity of one parent to be removed from the birth certificate, PA reported, and that there would be no way for the child to know if they had been donor-conceived.
He told PA on Friday: "The state is colluding in a deception. We are opening the door to more cases like this one. One of the most fundamental things of all is to know who you are. The issue here is about human rights.
"A birth certificate that omits any mention of your true origin falsifies your history in a very significant way."
entirely gross
Poo sandwiches for dinner tonight everyone! Poo sandwiches for dinner!! Trust me. Sprinkle garlic salt on them for extra flavor.
Take that picture of those poor babies off…jeez!
It didn't say they were conjoined twins, ya ninny.

YEA H !
10th???
And both of them didn't have visable scars?
DIDN'T THEY NOTICE THEY LOOKED ALIKE? SOUNDS LIKE THEIR HEADED TO SPRINGER! OH FIRST!!
1st.gross.
That picture it offensive and not fair to those babies who look dead. Dead baby pictures? Not funny.
Maybe near 1st? Quite sad this story, quite gross also…thinkin' they'll need some kind of therapy….forever!
first!!!
Wow, that's so strange… the twins never met before and they had an attraction. Nature works in weird ways.
OMFG
thats so weird…
HELLO PEREZZZ
WE BRAZILIANS LOVE YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
that picture is fuckin sick! hahahahahah!
Nice picture.
that picture makes me vomit in my mouth a little bit.. you should take that down
Take that picture down now. It's very inappropriate and disrespectful to those poor babies.
Weeeeeeird!
I really feel badly for this 'couple'. Imagine thinking you've found your 'soulmate' but then only to discover that they are your sibling!?!?!?! Let's hope to God that they were 'old-fashioned' (like what would the chances of that be in this day & age) & didn't believe in sex b4 marriage! EEEEEWWWW just the thought of it all makes me feel really sick but also very sad for them! These 2 are going 2 need alot of therapy & I think whomever or what ever agency concealed this information has a responsiblity to pay for it!
Joined twins generally stem from the same egg so are of the same sex
So probably a false story
FIRST!!!!!!
Re: Karma –
I agree 100%!!
You are weird today Perez.

That's unreal!
This photo is terrible insensitive…. these were somebody's children.

ugh, not cool pic
WOW
Sucks to be them!
that picture is awful
OMG! What a horrible picture! Why would you put that up?
weird l:
5th
They were not conjoined, you moron. Seperated at birth, meaning to different sets of parents. Get your facts right.
omg.
Perez,
Informative article but the picture has to go. I love you, love your site and think most things you post are a-okay. However, coming from someone who has lost a baby shortly after birth, this picture is very graphic and disturbing. Please remove it asap!
Perez, you tell us about that nasty video, you know we'll search for, and then you show us pics of dead babies…are you trying to make us puke on purpose?
THAT IS CRAZZZY & FIRST
1st
This is exactly why twins should never be separated in the first place, but if it is unable to be that way the parents and that child should be required by law to know of all siblings they have to keep this from happening. I feel really sorry for them cuz it has to be gross knowing that you not only fell in love with your twin but obviously slept with them too, and now youre supposed to form some sort of brother-sister relationship, that sucks!!!
Must be a slow gossip day Perez. You've sunk to a new low with this one!
FREAKY!!
Hey Perez,
Couldn't you paste a better picture to this entry?
and about the entry… EEEWWW
Muah Love ya!!!
icky poo poo!
That is every adoptive child's worst nightmare, right there.
Ew
totally tasteless. Take it down!
as if…
That's an upsetting picture, Perez
oh no thats really bad, but i bet they dont even get divorced!
Ew! Gross!
1st.

Welcome to Science 101. Conjoined twins can only be of the same sex. They are identical — ALWAYS. So, unless one of these folks (in the picture, they both look like girls) had a sex change, they didn't get married or are lying, or something even weirder.

omg that's gross. what if they've already had sex??!!!?! EWWWWWWW. that's grosser than 4 girls finger painting. lmao.
What would possess you to exploit a picture of these babies who have nothing to do with the article? You should be ashamed of yourself. It is one thing to exploit adult celebrities who know what they are getting themselves into but not innocent children. You should take this picture down and issue an apology. This is your lowest point ever. I would be embarassed to be your mother.
first.

FIRST…..MAYBE……YUCK
first!
OMG, how gross is that picture??!! You just put me off my dinner!!
My God Perez! That should have a warning you shouldn't have that as the first photo that loads on your page. It's offensive and disrespectful to those poor babies that never got a chance in life at all. Take it down!
it was me.
i doubt it. such a fake story!
Disgusting
Perez! What is the significance of the photo you posted with that story? I hope you didn't go looking for it. That's really awful and unnecessary.
come on Perez. Take that picture down, it is disgusting and in bad taste. I love to come here and read, but you got to draw the line somewhere, and you just crossed it.
firsttt
wow….gross!!!! they had sex!!
Awww - that's just so wrong - on so many levels. Could you imagine?
