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."

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!

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!

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!!!

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.

67

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.

Little known fact - many North American sets of Siamese twins vacation in England - so the other guy can drive for a change! ahahahahaha
Michael Bolton says – reply to this

99

I usually do not have a problem with anything you guys show, actually I find humor in most, except the picture about the UK twins seperated at birth. That is one of the most horrific pictures I have seen to date.

I would have been able to still get the point without the pic.

Thanks! I really enjoy the gossip.

P.s. That fuck'n Brittney is a trainwreck. It is relative to a 6oo lbs. person, you don't want to stare, but you can't help it.

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
