There's a part of me that wonders what the validity to this story is. I mean, until there are more details out there, you just never know. Not that I'm a hater or anything, but I've seen stories like this before only to be called out as hoaxes. Either way, this would rock anyone's world and would completely suck to go through.

I have a hard enough time finding a girl that I can stand being around, let alone finding one, marrying them, then finding out we should have been growing up together or going to family reunions together.....fucked up

I would be absolutely devastated. Can you imagine finding your soulmate? Your life partner? You think you have everything planned out. And then... this.

I can't even imagine what they are going through. The feelings of shame, guilt, confusion. Ugh. Worst feeling ever.

But I get all those feelings anyway. Now I know I'm adpoted and my biological father was a musician but...........................oh man. If my dad is Mick Jagger........ EVERYONE IS MY SISTER!!!!!!! OH SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. It isn't surprising they had such a connection. The mind and its perceptions mold us in so many ways. Maybe if they had known they had a twin out there somewhere, they would have noticed they looked alike and had the same birthday.

For some reason all I can think about is the fact that they had sex.

In the end I feel really bad for them. It sucks to be like "yay I am in love, lets get married" to only find out you're blood related to the person....

very sad indeed

Obviously, the only way the couple discovered their mutual heritage was by the wife getting pregnant and the newborn has severe medical complications, which prompted doctors to run genetic tests.

Obviously? I don't think so. Perhaps one of them was ill and needed an organ donor, or perhaps they were having trouble conceiving and needed the tests run.
There are so many other options out there, it's not obvious that they had a child with "severe medical complications"

Plus, I learned in college that inbreeding isn't really as dangerous as people believe.

Actually, you are correct. The whole inbreeding thing is easily rectified with some simple tests. It is more likely that a woman over 35 having a child will face some type of genetic malfunction than siblings will.

surely it was more likely that after sharing their own story they realised the similarities and maybe decided to investigate themselves etc

i may alienate myself further by saying it, but one of my biggest and long standing fantasys is about having a sibling and being romantically involved, but im an only child, had i grown up with siblings..i probably wouldn't feel taht way...this is sad. how frustrating for them. makes me think about how they must have met, maybe taht twin thing really played into it, a pychic connection bringing them to each other. i dunno..if this happened to me, i'd probably stay with them, and just make absolutely certain that we didn't conceive. cuz as stated the social constructs, arn't really there since you didn't grow up as a family. but damn that's gotta suck...i believe adopted kids should be able to find thier parents actually, i think it's a basic human right myself. i really DO technically have a brother and 2 sisters but teh youngest of them is 37 yr's older than me, and i dunno if they know im related at all..joys of being a bastard..i guess conceivably..who knows maybe the father man..spread us out a little more..might well have more siblings::shrugs::

Actually if they never knew each other then there were no familial ties which usually go along with the genetic reasons for not marrying kin.

That's crazy! And actually kind of sad.... well at least they still have each other, just can't get married and have kids lol.

Actually, it's puritanical nonsense that would keep them from getting married, and they can certainly have kids. There is testing for the recessive genes that are an issue when family members breed with each other. In reality, it is more likely for a woman that is over 36 and pregnant to give birth to a child with some type of birth issue than it is for a sibling couple. No reason to let societal misinformation stand in the way of love.

I used to be grossed out by the idea of incest but then realized the only reason I was grossed out by it was because that is what society tells us. I'm certainly not going to go sleep with any of my relatives but if two people love each other then who really cares if they are related or not.

This is scary to read because this could actually happen to me. My mom has 4 kids; I'm the oldest, then there are 2 kids she had after me with adifferent father who both got adopted out, then there is my little brother who she still has who is the youngest. It's a long story that I won't go into, but she does know that the other two kids live in either OH or WV; one got adopted by a family that my grandma knew, they live in WV somewhere, and the other lives in Columbus.

Scary. I might have met them and not even known. One was born while my mom was in prison so he was taken at birth, his name might or might not have been changed. The other didn't get put up for adoption until he was a year or so, so I doubt they woulda changed his name

I'd like to know more details, which I wonder might/might not come out.. like when did they maybe wonder that they might have been related? did they sense something and that initial connection they mistook for love (in a lets get married sense rather than a family love) and how the events unfold.

I cant imagine how traumatic that might be to go through. And how you might feel about having had sex with your sibling unknowingly, and having to relive all that when your family and friends want to know why your marriage got annulled...

That really is kind of sad. It's hard enough to find someone in this world you like and get along with well enough to want to spend your life with. And then only to find out that person is the one person in the world you should not marry? I kinda feel sorry for the both of them.

Twins separated at birth have married each other without realizing they were brother and sister, it has been revealed.

The British couple's marriage has now been annulled by the High Court after judges ruled the marriage had never validly existed.

The identities of the brother and sister and details of how they fell in love and married are being kept secret. Soon after they were born they were separated and adopted by different families.

Neither was told they had a twin and had no idea they were blood relatives until after their wedding.

The British couple were granted an annulment at a special hearing at the High Court in London, Professor Lord Alton told The Times. Judges in the Family Division ruled that the marriage had never validly existed.

Lord Alton, who was told about the case by a High Court judge, said that the twins’ experience demonstrated the need to strengthen the rights of children to know the identity of their biological parents. The peer declined to name the judge or identify the case more specifically.

He argued that reforms that are currently being debated in the House of Lords threaten to undermine even existing rights.

“The right for children to know the identity of their biological parents is a human right," said Lord Alton. “There will be more cases like this if children are not given access to the truth. The needs of the child must always be paramount”.

Um. WOW.
