Separated at Birth, Brought Together in Marriage
In a case of the rules of attraction gone seriously awry, a brother and sister who were split up at birth and adopted by different families later met, fell in love and got married.
Only after the wedding did they discover the inconvenient truth that they were, in fact, twins.
The case was cited by Lord David Alton of U.K.'s House of Lords in a debate over legislation on human fertilization and embryology, which opponents say will weaken the ability of children to identify their biological parents. He said:
They met later and felt an inevitable attraction, and the judge had to deal with the consequences.
Lord Alton said the judge who granted the annulment told him about it. Much to the frustration of bloggers everywhere, Lord Alton did not offer any more details, except to say the case was "recent."
Lifetime has already started production on the Made for TV movie.
