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."
PRERZ! GET A BRAIN! IF THEY WERE CONJOINED, LIKE U SEEM TO THINK BECUASE U POSTED A PIC OF CONJOINED TWINS, THEY WOULD BE IDENTICAL! DUH! I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE READ ALL ABOUT IT BECUASE I HAVE ID GIRLS. SO MAYBE CHANGE THE PIC? THEY WERE ADOPTED OUT SEPERATLY AT BIRTH! NOT CONJOINED!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL!!! LOL
That pic of conjoined infant twins is just repulsive. Those are CHILDREN and you're making a mockery of their conjoined-bodies. Furthermore, the pic doesn't even match the story. Were the twin conjoined (attached) or just twins "separated" at birth? S
I love you perez your the best big queen i know but seriously, that picture is disrespectful, these were somebody's children abd it's not funny, please take it down and go back to being the nice (slightly bitchy) guy we all know and love.
Dear Perez, take this picture off. Those babies are dead. This picture has nothing to do with the article.
They can move to Kentucky & live a normal life together.
this picture is just wrong. you really should take it down.
HOW COULD YOU POST THIS PICTURE? I work in a Neonatal ICU and I deal with tragedy everyday, posting this picture is a slap in the face to anyone who has had to deal with a miscarriage due to congenital anomalies. Such poor taste, SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!
OH MY GOSHHH!
Urgh - the accidental twin love-in I can handle, but the pic of the dead babies is feckin disgusting - what were you THINKING? Nearly lost my lunch over their dirty bottoms…
you should absolutely not be showing pictures like this on your website. there is something seriously wrong with you.
Angelina Jolie and her brother publicly french kiss and go on with a regular brotherly-sisterly relationship… so I'm sure these twins can too.
I'm well read in memento mori and photographs of the dead and these babies are dead. The one on the right went first, obviously, and conjoined twins cannot live without the other. Also, it's an old photograph, probably old enough that the parents aren't going to see it and press charges. Shame on who ever wrote this.
Wow, you are sick and twisted. Why did you post this disturbing picture?
Good grief.
Oh yea, haha, and conjoined twins are always identical, meaning they have t be the same sex.

Dude, fraternal twins can't be conjoined. Sounds like one of those B.S. apocryphal stories politicians are always inventing.
Whats that really the best picture of twins that you could find? gross.
[re=1244587]Re: CUTIEKAZ[the/re
the pic was really offensive. perez, i lost a full term infant last year and the fact that you would put a pcture of dead babies on yoru site is extremely offensive to me and every other bereaved parent. pls remove it as it has NOTHIng to do with the story.lyou have really gone too far this time. if you had your own child die in your arms and had to bury it and the only way you could visit your child was by visiting their tiny grave like i do every week, you would know what i mean……..PLEASE REMOVE THAT PICTURE
perez you are a piece of shit, take that pic down, bitter you will never be able to have kids b/c you are a queer, fat loser
Perez
Get a hold of yourself…stick with celebrity gossip…take the sad babies OFF, that's so wrong…!
You fucking bastard. Take this picture down, it's beyond offensive.
That is the most horrific photo I've ever seen. What relation has to the article?? Please have a heart and take it down…I mean…these were somebody's babies, it' sad and disrespectful.
Take down that picture now. It's offensive and totally inappropriate. Also, it has nothing to do with the story. You've really crossed the line.
I can't believe you would post a picture of dead babies on your site. This crosses the line and not in an amusing way.
Perez, I luv ya, buddy, but there was absolutely no reason to post that picture.
THIS IS COMPLETLY DISTURBING PICTURE PEREZ OUT OF ALL THE ONES THIS NEEDS TO BE REMOVED
You sick fuck, take that picture down of those dead babies. I can't believe anyone would think that is funny. I hope you BURN IN HELL !!!
why the fuck would you put a picture of those poor babies on, that's not anything to laugh at? why not put picture of some hillbilly kissing cousins or something. That's sick, even for you Paris!
I have become your fan as the time goes on.. BUT TAKE THAT PICTURE DOWN! Its is utterly disrespectful, and right now I am extremely PISSED AT YOU.
ESO SIMPLEMENTE NO SE HACE!!!! Por favor un poco de respeto.
That's impossible, PEREZ!
-
Conjoined twins are from the same fertilized egg, therefore, they must be the same sex.
-
They were simply TWINS, separated at birth, NOT CONJOINED, Dweeb.
that's so cool, i hope they are happy.
The picture of the conjoined twins is offensive and insensitive. I love this web site, don't get me wrong, but you really have no class if you keep this pic up.
pLEASE REMOVE THAT Picture—- as a bereaved parent myself, i am extremely offended. those were someones children. you really are an idiot for posting it.

ew. stick w/ the celeb gossip, perez
What Has the fucking picture to do with the story….. ? (no offense to the babies intended)
Perez you are very disrespectful!!!!!!
Perez dont be "amarillista" be a little more professional PLEASE!!!!!!
I read this article this morning, and it's really interesting (and sad), but the picture of the babies is not only completely irrelevant, but also in poor taste. I'm a Perez fan, but this is disappointing.
dont you think that they would be like, woowww we look kind of alike…. and we were both conjoined twins…. hmmm? lol
pretty interesting and graphic.. thanks perez. i love it! lol ~~
i have never felt the need to comment here but…as many of your readers have already suggested…the picture is offensive. Not cool.

This story is medically unsound. Conjoined twins are always identical twins. Identical twins are the result of one embryo that splits, they are conjoined when the embryo does not completely split. Therefore the twins being from one embryo would be the same sex.
it's not gross, they didn't know! how sad to think you find love and no love now!
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?! THAT IS A PICTURE OF SOMEONE'S POOR DEAD BABIES!!! TAKE THAT GODDAMN PICTURE OFF YOUR WEBSITE!!!!!!
ITSTATERTOTANDSMALLFRY, BITCHES!
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?! THAT IS A PICTURE OF SOMEONE'S POOR DEAD BABIES!!! TAKE THAT GODDAMN PICTURE OFF YOUR WEBSITE!!!!!!
Re: AMBIEPANTS – I agree - I'm not coming back here if this picture isn't removed. It's one thing to "make fun" of people who knowingly get into a business where their lives aren't really personal anymore - the price of being in the public eye - but these babies were obviously stillborn and it's just heartbreaking and in poor taste.
Re: AMBIEPANTS –
I agree!
Perez, you are about to lose a lot of viewers! Do the right thing and remove the picture!
oh my goodness some of you are so stupid!!! he meant separated like not in the same place……not conjoined!!!! This picture is of 2 femail (ocbiously dead) conjoined twins. Honestly perez…..you couldnt have found a less grotesque pic to put up than 1 of a couple of dead babies…….not very tasteful. Also, conjoined twins come ony from the same egg so they have to be the same sex…you people asking about scars……..there would not be any if they were not both boys or both girls. If you read the story, you will see they were a male and a female!!!!
serriously perez, take the pic down or atleast put a warning on it or something…….its sad for someone who has actually seen a dead child
You should have chose another picture for this article. I think it's disrespectful of you to use the kind of picture you did
Mother of two
Ow my gosh couldn't you have gotten a better picture than this ? Anyways, brother and sister marrying one another is a disgrace and unlogical. How sickening ? Check this out and watch all 6 episodes of Late Night with Celebrity Host at www.dumb.com/celebrityhost/

Perez, that picture you put up is fucked up!!!! don't you have any respect for babies!!!
that pic was misleading! i assumed that that was the child they twins had that came out retarded because they were blood relatives! now ive read it, i am disappointed
Flood his inbox - Perez@PerezHilton.com Who knows if he actually reads these comments….
Perez, this photo is in terribly poor taste. People who have lost babies could be really hurt by seeing this. Please take it down.
Please take the pics of the babies off, they are obviously dead. PLEASE take it off….
Normally I am behind you guys and LOVE the site, but I think this is in poor taste, you have to have at least a little respect
This is entirly un-possible, I'm not the best a biology but I know that twins that need to be seperated will have the exact same DNA and gender is kinda a big thing with that! it would be possible for ferternal twins to do something like this but it would have to be a gay couple for this to even work! Not to mention wouldn't they notice their scares match up perfectly! Common people get a clue!
Perez what were you thinking you as an adult and a child of someone u should have enough repect for other people and these children. I cant believe that you have posted such an explicet picture like this on your site. You would think that you would have a little more brains then that. Your picutre has nothing to do with the article that you have posted up. YOU SHOULD REALLY TAKE THAT PICTURE DOWN. I'm almost positive that if you have kids and something like what you posted happen to them and their picture was placed for thousands to see you would be upset and please don't say that you wouldn't the death of these kids..babies are very touchy and hard for their family but yet you have no consideration for them how cold hearted are you!!!!! I hope that you pull your head out of where ever it's at and take this picture down. Find something better to do rather then upset tons of people!!!!
ewwwwww thats just wrong. Imagine doing it with ur siblings?!?
Be NORMAL!!! take down your baby photo.
Perez why show pictures of dead babies?
What's with the picture?! That's pretty twisted.
That's messed up! Anything is possible I guess.
Love your website mate, but that photo is fucking unnecesary
For God's sake…Perez…. how absolutely appauling that you would choose this picture… it sickens me that you have taken such a sad situation as those two babies were born with and are exploiting it on a story! Who cares about the twins marrying each other… the picture is in extremely poor taste with no relationship nor value to the story. Take it down. You are better than resorting to this kind of crap.
Take that photo off. How disrespectful to the spirit of those children (who are obviously dead). There is a line Perez and you just crossed it. Those are someone's babies………….
Dear Perez,
I am a long time fan of your site and read it every day. This is the first time I have felt the need to post a reply to one your posts. I can't believe this picture! There is absolutly no reason to post this pictures, of what seems like dead babies. It's in the worst taste I have ever seen and should be removed. Who ever did this should be ashamed, I'm assuming this is a real picture! Those are someone's children. Please take it down.
Yeah…the one on the left is you. Perez.
You ARE worse than Britney to put this shit on here.
Fuck man…don't you recognize a double- standard when you see one?
I hope someone carves up your dog.
For all of you who think these people were literally separated at birth, you are complete retards. Stupid Americans.
This is the last time I look at this site! You have fuckin dropped to a new low PEREZ!!!!
A picture of dead babies is crossing the line. I'm a fan, but this is really offensive.
you guys seriously need to put your thinking caps on…conjoined twins are genetically identical, and are, therefore, always the same sex…this picture doesn't match the story…it shows "conjoined twins" but states "were separated at birth"…this is just a case of shady journalism
WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with you Perez? Why are you so shamelessly showing a picture of two dead babies. You're a sick fucker. My god!!!
There are a lot of people in this world who think that GAY people don't have the right brain and sensitivity to raise children (or even be trusted around them). As a Lesbian I am fucked off that by posting that photo you have just given those people confirmation of what they believe. Don't forget who you are representing Perez.
That is disgusting, posting pictures of dead mutilated looking babies. You should have not put this picture up, and if so at least done the decency of putting it under the "warning if you are easily offended category”. This picture has nothing to do with the story except it has twins in it, but the story never had any remote tie in with conjoined cleft lipped dead babies. The story is also humilating and has nothing to do with a celeb gossip, this is pretty low perez, even for you. Please remove this photo.
GROOSSS . I hope they weren't sexually active , HAHA
Perez I'm a HUGE fan, but that picture is too much! I fail to see the humor in the suffering of two innocent babies. PLEASE take it down.
Please take that picture off - I miscarried conjoined twins and this is in extremely bad taste.
This is my first time posting a comment and will be my last.
I've loved your site, your quirky comments and your snappy and caustic take on celebs. I come on here at least once a day. As of today, I'm done. Like someone else posted early, this is totally out of character for you, two dead babies? Really. And after all the pleading from your faithful visitors you refuse to budge? Remeber how you got here and who made your site - these visitors. So as a human with HUMANE instincts, I won't be visiting anymore. I know losing one "fan" won't break your heart, but that picture you posted broke mine.
Ciaobella.
These two babies, whoever they may have been, had a mom and a dad . And those parents lost their children, and it probably fucked up their life. And here is Perez, the fucking american low class prick, has no respect for anything, puts their children on his site. Like Nothing! Like they're nothing! Selfish asshole. Don't you get enough hits, even without posting stuff like that??
There are alot of people in this world who think that GAY people do not have the right brain or sensitivity to raise children (or even be trusted around them). As a Lesbian I am fucked off that by posting that photo of dead conjoined babies, you have just given them confirmation of what they believe. Do not forget who you are representing Perez.
I don't belive it for one bit. Whenever you meet someone, you find out who they are and if they are both adopted. But if they were seperated wouldnt they have supsected something when they had sex? Well, then again they might have obstained from sex.
Eww that's nasty ew they probly slept together how nasty would that be to sleep with ur sister or brother lol
I agree with many posts here…..although I love ya Perez the picture is truly heartbreakingly sad and should be removed immediately. Please do this.
YOU'RE SICK! take that picture down!
The photo and the story have NOTHING to do with each other.
They have kept the identities of the couple secret. Twins, not conjoined!!
Everyone knows this site isn't ever going to win a pulitzer, and that's fine.
Your judgement was clearly taking a sabatical when you posted that photo.
You need to take it down. THAT was the best you could do??
Ok the story is disturbing enough but for god sake why that awfull photo Perez. We love ya but thats not funny.
That photo is in bad taste ….. Lift your game Perez
This type of scenario is exactly why all children need to know who their biological parents are, whether their birth is a result of sperm donation, egg donation or adoption! I think that if a couple needs to use donor eggs or sperm, they should come from family members (who are not blood relatives, obviously) so the families can keep track of the child and know there is no danger of them growing up to marry a relative!
How awful for these people - I hope in time they can come to terms with their relationship as brother and sister. This situation was in no way their fault.
has anyone else realized that this cant be true??
identical twins are, well, IDENTICAL.
fraternal twins were never attached to need to be separated..
unless someone got a sex change…
this is totally impossible. conjoined twins are always identical–that's why they're conjoined. the embryos didnt separate completely. there is no way conjoined twins would not be of the same sex.
stupid.
Re: misu – Amen
Obviously these two were meant to be together..lol
I SAW THIS EARLIER TODAY AND THOUGHT FOR SURE P-NASTY WOULD TAKE THIS SHIT DOWN OUT OF RESPECT FOR HIS READERS. SO RUDE, SO THOUGHTLESS, SO TASTELESS!!! MAKES ME f***ING SICK!!!! GIVES ME ANOTHER REASON TO BAN THIS USELESS SITE FROM MY LIFE! ALL THESE ADS (CIROC, GAY ADS, ETC) PAY FOR HIS FAT ASS TO LIVE A FANCY AND FRUITY LIFE LIKE A KING…THANKS TO US, HIS READERS!!!! I SAY BAN THE SMELLY FRUIT & KICK HIS ASS BACK TO FLIPPING WHOPPERS!
Very sad to come to read something and find a picture like that. Perez you are going to boil in heaven. You really are a poor excuse of a human being, you actually need to use a picture like that to get attention??? Pathetic.
AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY STATED, THEY WERE NOT CONJOINED…THEY WERE JUST SEPARATED AT BIRTH…MEANING ADOPTED BY 2 SEPARATE FAMILIES. JESUS, YOU'RE MENTALLY ILL.
THIS PICTURE IS CLASSLESS. DON'T YOU REALIZE THOSE BABIES ARE DEAD?? SERIOUSLY, PLEASE TAKE IT DOWN AND ADD SOME SORT OF EXPLANATION/APOLOGY.
I'M A FAN OF YOUR WEBSITE, BUT THIS IS BEYOND WORDS.
Ok- I come to your site everyday because I love to read all the headlines. I think you have gone too far this time with the baby picture. Have a heart. You need to take this picture down. This one is not funny at all.

That picture is seriously fucked…that needs to be changed.
you've gone too far. take the pictures of the dead, deformed babies down! if you can READ, then you'll see that the story was related to the person who told it by someone he refuses to name. there's no proof it even happened! wtf is wrong with you?
