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."

Perez that picture is disgusting. wtf?
Re: cdub – Um, science professor? Maybe you should read the article. It didn't say conjoined twins it just said twins separated at birth. I would think a scientist could pick up on that. The pic is just there for shock value…on that note–if anyone is offended by it, go somewhere else cuz you're stupid. Perez–you're the shiz.
Re: cdub –
hmm goodpoint but maybe their gayy
gross
hope they belived in sex AFTER marrige
email the sponsors and tell them you are boycotting the site because of this tasteless picture!
ok yeah so seeing as those twins inth epic both had vaginas…this is a frarce..nice try tho
wow perez reaches a new low… who woulda thought
Perez, I think the photo with this story is perverse and disgusting and goes beyond the line. I think it is incredibly offensive and I have lost a ton of respect for this website. It's my opinion that you run a tighter ship.
Perez, here's the thing. I think that what has attracted so many of us to this site has been the fact that we've sort of felt like we were all "gossip girlfriends" and we were somehow "in" because one of "us" got to rub shoulders with the celebs "we" poke fun at. It's easy to not have much mercy/sympathy for celebs who knowingly and actively pursue their fame, knowing full well that it comes at the cost of their privacy. But these dead babies are different. Using, no, keeping this picture up despite our objections rather, has shown a side of you that I think none of us knew existed and we probably feel a little betrayed. The fact that not only have you NOT removed this picture, but that you haven't even addressed the issue in any way (be it defending your decision to leave it up or whatever) is why there's such dissention in the ranks. This is what leads us to believe that we're NOT really "girlfriends" afterall…..
And readers, every time you rant about Perez being "Fat and ugly" you've negated your argument. Think about how easy it is to disregard anything people have to say about you once you start hurling insults! Perez, I USED to just adore you but now you've just shown me that you're not worthy of that kind of attention from me, so even though I know you could care less, I'm done and won't be back here again.
Your a fucken Idiot!!!!how dare you publish a photo of two dead children that have nothing to do with the story you are writing about!you fat American Fuck!!!!! It just goes to show what a fat ugly moron you are You American Shithead!!!!!
Take those poor babies off, you are disgusting to even post this picture, you should be ashamed!!!!
How the hell could this be true? Aren't conjoined twins identical twins??? Which would mean that they would both be boys or both be girls period. And btw, the picture is disgusting.
You reveal a lot about yourself to post this picture. I WILL NEVER PATRONIZE ANY OF YOUR ADVERTISERS OR RETURN TO THIS CESSPOOL AGAIN. May these poor babies rest in peace.
Please take that picture off, its very offensive, especially when you have had a baby with complications, like me.
ok they were seperated at birth meaning that after they were born they were given to different parents not CONJOINED twins!
Ah, well: still haven't taken it down, but I don't see your sponsor Ciroc anymore.
Omg r u serious pleaz take the ugly pic off it just made me throw up! And how can u not know tht ur "wife"is ur twin??!!
Seriously was the graphic picture necessary?!
reminds me of the mellon twins
Hello Perez this is not possible. Conjoined twins are identical twins. This happens when the egg dosen't completly seperate. Unless one had a sex change I beleive you all have been fooled
in countries where blood test aren't required to get a licence this gross stuff happens all the time, the poor people they'll be in counselling for the rest of their lives
perez, i love you, but that picture is completely inappropriate. i'm all for baby jokes, but that picture of two/one deformed babies just makes me sad.
You've lost a viewer. This photo is beyond vile. You are missing something to be able to find it entertaining.
You've posted some disrespectful pics before….. BUT THESE ARE SOMEONE'S INNOCENT CHILDREN. Please remove the pic. The twins in UK were separated at birth but they weren't siamese twins you idiots! Now they are saying the whole story was nothing but a publicity stunt.
REMOVE THE PICTURE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
