BRITAIN:Twins who were separated at birth and later married each other without realising they were brother and sister have had their marriage annulled by the high court's family division in London.

The pair, who were adopted by separate sets of parents, were granted an annulment after a high court judge ruled their marriage was invalid because of their close blood relationship. Their identity and how they discovered they were siblings, have been kept secret. The most likely route is by tracing their birth parents.

Their story was told by the high court judge who annulled the marriage to Lord Alton, who used it to back up a call for children conceived by donor insemination to be told.
