Parted-at-birth twins 'married'

[Aηdy]

A pair of twins who were adopted by separate families as babies got married without knowing they were brother and sister, a peer told the House of Lords.


A court annulled the British couple's union after they discovered their true relationship, Lord Alton said.

The peer - who was told of the case by a High Court judge involved - said the twins felt an "inevitable attraction".

He said the case showed how important it was for children to be able to find out about their biological parents.
Details of the identities of the twins involved have been kept secret, but Lord Alton said the pair did not realise they were related until after their marriage.

see thats bullshit to though siblings should never be split up espically twins

[Aηdy]

Hmm yeah, I think they should at least be told once they're old enough to understand.

I agree with twins not being split up but about telling them when they are able to understand. No.

I am adopted and when I was 18 I found out I had 2 brothers, a full one and a half one. If I found that out when I was younger I may wanted to find them. There are reasons they don't tell you these things when you are younger.

Did they have sex? O.O
