Will you still marry him...?

Feel guilty? But they were innocent when they met each other. The parents should be the guilty ones for not telling them about their siblings.

Its really a bad one whic i not heared till now. How can a sister can marry a brother after they known about their birth. If she got pregnant from him she needs to be seperate from him and giving him the value as he was the brother and she needs to treat him as a blood relation .

They might feel uncomfortable after knowing about the truth. But if they strongly love each other I think they won't mind being a couple, after all they will have a baby to take care of by next month. It's incest and is wrong - but if they knew about it before, they won't end up being a couple.

They must also be blamed since they doesn't ask their children about their relationship or about their life and really could help if they do it in the earlier time. =)

right, they could have at least asked the full name of their kids' boyfriend and girlfriend since they know that this MIGHT happen, even though they did not give a thought that it can happen.

Indeed tough! I think even the parents can also be blamed to what happened with their kids, don't you think?

Yeah they met in a University and fell inlove the moment they laid eyes on each other But! They didn't realized it, maybe they don't talk about their family and maybe their parents never talked about the past or who their mom or dad was.

But this girl is already 8 months pregnant and I don't think it is right to abort that child. I'd say just go ahead with the wedding and remain as a couple.

enelym, yes that is the only reason I can think of too, because even with lack of communication, but still even if I were not close to my family,(which parts of my family I am not close to) after 5 years, I know that I would have brought up something about the past and my family. In the story the classmate wrote, that was the situation, the parents were never talked about to the girl. Gifts, I have seen something like that on another talk show many years ago, but I think that was a case of the siblings were given up for adoption and separated, which in that case, that is a VERY good reason to keep brothers and sister together... Jlyn, I agree, though it is morally wrong for siblings to have a baby, I wouldn't abort it for that reason. If the couple rally loved each, in my opinion, their best option is to go ahead and have the baby, but not have anymore.

True, the baby might have suffer from abnormalities or autism... unfortunately she's already on the way and is giving birth next month, well hope the baby's normal.

whoaw just found out you're from there... it's really great that it didn't happen to you... well maybe your parents care enough to tell you the family history

hello enelym, saphy is from Philippines aint sweetheart

they should introduce their family when they still dating. 5 years... i can't imagine that.

The parents knew that they're children are gonna get married but they are clueless for 5 years. They should have at least made an effort to meet the family even before planning for the wedding. or ask their child about who their kids are dating.

yeah right it seems like it's everyone's fault

Yes it's strange. They should have introduced each other and know the real name of each parents before. Coz as what is said in the news, the parents did not told them about it. So it's the parents who first got surprised to see that they're related with each other. I am not sure whether they got married or just decided to forget each other.

Pretty true! And if we go back to the early days of human civilization, marriages among members in the family was being practiced. If I'm not mistaken, there still are some cultures who practice such.

Yeah there were some countries who sees it as normal.

Hi mjweed, I also think it is not actually their fault if in case their parents did not tell them about the past and who the other parent is.

I agree with you, if only there's no baby involved yet I think it would be easy for them to just forget each other and move on.

It won't be such a big issue for the family, maybe if they were at least 6 or 7 generations cousins. Maybe they would have accepted it and they won't feel so devastated about it. It's different with brother and sister relation, it's kinda disgusting but it happened anyway.

Marriage it self can not effect the health of the baby. Only bad dna/illnesses can. if these kind of illnesses are not running in the family there is no risk at all. To me it doesn't make sense that the parents did not tell the kid they have they have a brother/sister plus there is an other parent. What also doesn't make sense is that you can have a relationship for years and your parent(s) are not knowing this at all and you introduce your fiancee a bit before the wedding for the first time. If there is someone to blame it's the parents. But if this is love who cares. That baby will have at least parents who love it and I would find a way to to stay together. The world is big enough and there are plenty of people with exactly the same familyname who are not relatived at all.

that's if the couple decides to stay together despite knowing their real relationship with each other. If they decide to stay as a couple then that would be wonderfil for the baby, otherwise at least there is one parent to take care of the kid...

Is South Africa strict when it comes to marriage and relationship? I am not familiar with their customs and traditions. I have not read if they're parents have been divorced, so if they're not then probably it's against the law. If not, then maybe it's the parents who wouldnt want them to be married since it could affect the baby's health maybe.

Oh yes it is shocking,..But why they did not know their family first before the wedding? How this wedding quick preparation?I am sure this story will still remain in the mind of them.

Some people fails to introduce family members to their parents. Maybe they were still testing whether the relationship is worth it or not. But it became somewhat worthless when they found out about this problem.

They came to know it when both their families met for the first time when the couple set a meet up for all families to plan for their wedding arrangement. It's really shocking at the same time devastating for the couple.

It's nice to know that there are some who still continue their relationship. It may feel awkward if it gets into your mind that you are in the same bed with your brother/sister. I guess they should program their mind that they are lovers and not siblings.

I guess so they have decided to separate maybe. But I have no idea what they're gonna do with their baby. Maybe put up for adoption or keep the baby with her. It's just weird to still be together once you learned your partner is really your brother/sister.

Hi shibham! I just checked out the link to your discussion and found out that the couples story is similar to what has happened to this couple that has been in the news last week. The parents of this couple divorced while the one in your story is much worst, because the mom of the boy has been raped. That's really sad Good thing was that the girl was not pregnant yet and both just decided to leave and maybe forget each other. This new story of a brother and sister lovers is a little complicated because the lady is due to give birth. It's just very sad to know that there are things like this that are happening.

Shocking revelation for the couple and a shocking news indeed! I agree with you Alvaro, the couple has to decide and weigh their feelings out for each other. However, they can't continue as lovers when they have it in their mind already. But if their Love for each other is more I guess they might forget their REAL relationship with each other and still be lovers. After all, they already have a baby.

I'd be deeply sad and hurt if the same thing happen to me too... The paper did not talk about their decision, latest I've read was that the couple decided to split and both of them cannot think straight.

Amazing and disturbing at the same time! They don't know about their real parents name I guess so even if one would say the name, it's only the parents who would know it.

Hello Greninee! They could do that too if they still feel comfortable with each other. Otherwise, they might end up the relationship but hope they would not put the baby for adoption.

indeed freaky but should be accepted. It's a taboo but I still can't blame them for being inlove with each other. I agree they should sort out each other's feelings. Who knows they might be feeling strong affection towards each other because they were brother and sister.
