Lord Alton of Liverpool spoke of an example of why UK laws covering human fertility and adoption should be changed. Here's the strange case of a twin, separated at birth, who ended up marrying each other:
"They were never told that they were twins," he said during the Dec. 10 debate on a law covering human fertility and embryology. They had been adopted by separate families and "met later in life and felt an inevitable attraction, and the judge had to deal with the consequences of the marriage that they entered into and all the issues of their separation."

As has been said this seems more like a lesson in the way media work (and why we should be suspicious of them) than a story about unfortunate twins.
But this really is a short article and doesn't have anything to support itself.
