In before a Game Of Thrones reference.
Pray for this couple.
Lord, give them the wisdom of Solomon to make the right decision.
I’m calling BS.
Yikes. To make it even worse this had to have occurred in Mississippi which has a reputation for this kind of thing. Poor people. I wonder where they go from here. Has to be very traumatic for them.
Utter fake site.
Just read this article. It’s gibberish.

It encourages marriages between siblings?
I can't get my head around that.
Attraction Guided by Our Genes:
We might like to think we’re in control of who we fall in love with, but our genes have already made the choice for us.

Opposites attract. It’s a basic principle of magnetism that has long been applied to romance. But the problem is that research on relationships shows that this notion, which sounds all well and good in song form, doesn’t ring true in practice.
Instead, we tend to be attracted to people who are similar to us in one way or another. It’s a phenomenon known as assortative mating. Assortative mating can be seen across traits like race, age, facial characteristics and body type, all of which have a genetic basis.
Individuals in fact tend to seek out someone with similar DNA, finds a joint analysis of Latino communities in Mexico, Puerto Rico and the United States by researchers at the University of California San Francisco, Microsoft Research, Harvard, University of California Berkeley, and Tel Aviv University.

Couples who pair up in these communities often have similar genetic ancestry, which proves stronger in determining mate selection than other socioeconomic factors, such as education levels, which itself has shown to be a powerful predictor of attraction in previous research.
In fact, ancestry was so similar in the populations studied that the average couple was the genetic equivalent of between third and fourth cousins. This degree of genetic relatedness among mating pairs could have potential health implications, both positively and negatively, as recessive alleles are more commonly passed in partners with similar genetic profiles.
There is a limitation in this study in that the research, appearing the latest Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), in that it focused on ethnically homogenous communities. Other studies have found similar results, however, when looking at different populations.

#1 on the list of things you don’t want to hear.
So called “Mississippi Herald” has no address, no “About” section, no listed editor or employees. Doubt that it exists. Fake news alert.
You know, in some parts of Kentucky, the hardest job of a divorce lawyer to explain to a couple is that even though they will no longer be husband and wife, they are still brother and sister.
Now they know why they got along so well together. Surprised it didn’t happen in West Virginia.
Honestly, stay married and adopt. At this point. They have no “sibling taboo” because they did not grow up together nor know they were related.
One freaky weird story.
normal Alabama situation
Siblings should never be separated. Same birthday, birth year, reason to be adopted and similar looks and no curiosity the number of coincidences?
The woman in question was born in 1810.
That makes us 9th cousins to each other.
