Mushroom_king Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 *~*The Grand Illusion*~*The Final Cut*~* Boing Boing sure is interesting... Unknowing twins married Posted: 11 Jan 2008 10:24 PM CST It's come out in the British House of Lords that a pair of twins, who didn't realize they were siblings, were married. Once the couple found out how close they really were, the marriage was annulled. The matter was discussed during a debate on the legislation surrounding human fertility and embryology. From CNN: "They were never told that they were twins," (a senior British lawmaker) said during the Dec. 10 debate... They had been adopted by separate families and "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." No further details about the couple have emerged, and it is not known when the marriage took place or how long they were together before they discovered the truth. Adoption groups said Friday the case proves the need for openness and transparency during the adoption process. *~*The psychedelic Luau*~*The Astronomy Domine*~* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 That must've been horrible for them. I'm having trouble figuring out what could have been done to prevent it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 That must've been horrible for them. I'm having trouble figuring out what could have been done to prevent it though. Just by being honest and letting them know they had a twin out there. You would think that there would have been some similiarities between them that would make them look like relatives. I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
