Quote:

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.

Professor Lord Alton uncovered the case when a High Court judge told him of a hearing he had dealt with.

I believe that for twins that are seperated at birth to find each other later on and be attracted is quite common. It's rare for it to proceed quite to the marriage stage though.

I would be soooooo depressed if that happened due to the grossness of it all.

I wouldn't be grossed out

Curiously, how are the odds about someone ending up dating and marrying a sibling they never knew?

Don't separate siblings at birth, or separate them at all, for that matter.

That is a tragedy, but I wonder if it's a harbinger of things to come? Like in this movie:
