It is well known the fact that twin brothers have a unique bond, but to be separated at birth and find each other after walking down the aisle might seem a bit too much.

The information regarding this incident which took place in the UK was provided by a lawmaker, who also took the opportunity and urged authorities to make the necessary changes so that more information can be provided on birth certificates for adopted children.

The marriage was annulled by a British court after their true relationship was brought to light, Lord David Alton said.

"Everyone has a right to knowledge about their lineage, genealogy and identity. And if they don't, then it will lead to cases of incest," Alton told The Associated Press during a telephone interview Friday.

Alton, an independent member of the Lords who works at Liverpool's John Moores University, said in the above mentioned interview that he knows about this very rare incident from a High Court judge who had dealt with the case.

The twins weren’t born after in vitro fertilization. The two came into this world after a normal birth, but were separated soon after and adopted by different families. They never knew they had a twin brother or sister until after the married each other.

One can only imagine the enormous attraction the two felt when they met in real life. However, the judge responsible with solving their case had to deal with problems common to every divorce such as issues of the separation and so on.

"I suspect that it will be a matter of litigation in the future if we do not make information of this kind available to children who have been donor conceived," Alton said

Details regarding the twins’ identifications or where they were from are still unavailable.

"I think it's a very tragic story for the people involved. It is a lesson that we need to learn and apply to the situation of donor-conceived children," said Pam Hodgkins, head of a group that helps adults affected by adoption, for Sky News.

The British laws stipulate that only a mother has to be named on a birth certificate. The current certificates are also not required to identify births that result from IVF or to identify the sperm donor. I said “current” certificates hoping that the changes made mandatory by this case will soon be implemented.
