Twins get married...to each other. Bananas!
Kirat submitted a funny article from CNN about how some twins accidentally married each other because they had been separated and didn't know they were related.
The couple's identities have been protected for legal reasons. Their case was first highlighted by Lord Alton of Liverpool during a discussion on donor conception in the House of Lords in December, but only came to light Friday.

The peer told the House of Lords that a court annulled the union as soon as the twins' true relationship became known. "They were never told that they were twins," he said during the Dec. 10 debate on a law covering human fertility and embryology. 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.

Under British law the parents of a donor-conceived child do not have to declare that fact on the child's birth certificate, O'Clee told CNN. This means a child conceived with a donor sperm or egg may never know their true origin.
That's pretty crazy. I wonder how the fact was discovered after the marriage...I would think if it didn't come up before it, they may never have known.

    Would you not think twice about marrying someone who shares your birthday? This yarn is unsubstantiated hearsay presented in the House of Lords as political motivation. Why the outcry? The royal family is inbred, so where's the problem?

    well you are not the only person with your birthday on that day so what if they got married i mean if they were sepperated at birth so if they love each other leave them be. because every one is related in a way so whats so wrong.
