revealed that they are biological twins.According to PUNCH, 'The couple, who were struggling
to conceive a child, had visited a fertility clinic, but
during the in vitro fertilisation process the doctor
discovered there are too many similarities in their DNA
profiles.Investigations, however, revealed that the twins had
been separated at a young age after their biological
parents died in a car accident. They were adopted into
different families, with neither foster family not knowing
their adopted child had a twin.'
The devastated couple was left at a loss with what to
do, as marriage between siblings is outlawed in the
southern state.
Neither the couple, who met and fell in love in college,
nor doctor can be named for patient confidentiality
reasons.
“They were attracted to each other due to their
similarities. They felt they could really connect with
each other. If only they had known the truth, it could
have saved them so much pain later on,” the doctor
told Mississippi Herald.
“For me, it’s a particularly unusual case because my job
is all about helping couples conceive a child. This is the
first time in my career that I’ve been glad I haven’t
succeeded in that regard.”
The penalty for marrying a sibling in Mississippi is up to
10 years in prison and a fine of $500.
