Hmmmmnnn.... This is heart breaking.
I don't even know the right kind of advise to give to the man in question.
But I would advise that he continues with the marriage against all odds.


**liltech**

@lilcent: What do you mean by they should continue with the marriage relationship?

Are you forgetting that both of them are related by blood?

Do you know that the relationship might affect their children.



The best they can do for themselves is to separate and terminate the pregnancy.
**LAGOS**

@ojc(E): Well I think I would support your view on this issue.



It is excusable if they had no idea of whether they are related by blood in the first place.

But now that they are aware, I feel the best they can do for themselves is to go their separate ways.



Which I feel it's the best decision they can take. The child should be Aborted..
**Just me**

Hi.



I would want to think that this is a made up case scenario and would not happen in real life, but it's possible, you never can tell.



But first things first, in this time now, how did they get married in the firat place. Which families did they consult, what advice and counsel did they get and which church conducted their wedding.



All these questions must be answered if we must get to the root of the matter and to validate this claim.



But in all, of course divorce and abortion is not the option, they should both live with it.



Even in the olden days, these things happened.


**Don't be a good student and a bad teacher.**

@Osaroju: Well this story is not a false story in any way as we are talking about a true life situation.



Whenever you come across a situation you have doubts about, all you need to do is to make your findings on the issues rather than assume it is not real.

We have a lot of search engines that can help you with informations rather than just assume that it is not true.



Let's be guided please, the fact that it doesn't look real to you doesn't mean it is not real.


**liltech**

@Osaroju: Well I never cooked up this story in order to get people's opinions or get people writting comments, this is a true life story.



Although this story didn't happen in Nigeria, but it happened in UK.



If you make use of Google search engine and make your findings on this topic, you'll find the story there.



A lot of things are happening around the world that we have no idea of.

Many attimes, these happenings might look so untrue but they are actually true.

Rather than assume the story is not true, I suggest you make your findings about the story.
**LAGOS**

I think I've read this story before. I think this issue happened last year.

Well I'm as confused as the man because it is believed that they've grown so fond of each other and they so much love each other.

The worse part of it is that the woman is expecting a baby for her husband who happens to be her half brother.

I really do not know the kind of advise that I should him, but I suggest he follows his heart.



>**Man United for Life**

@Osaroju: my brother this issue did not happen in Africa where people even involve a lot of families including their ancestors when they want to get married.
In foreign countries, marriage doesn't need a lot of people or families before it takes place.
Marriage only needs the bride, bride groom, the pastor and one or two witnesses that's all.
But all the same I still that the man should call off the marriage with his half sister.
But it has to be a mutual agreement between the both of them.
**liltech**

Wow this is actually very serious case as this one's are related by blood and now living as husband and wife with the wife pregnant for the husband.

First of all I will say abortion is killing of human being even though the baby is still in the pregnant woman, it is still a lot Ving being, so I don't think it is advised by God for us to kill any human being.

Now back to the issue on ground the man got to know that the woman is his half sister after they been living together and she is pregnant for him.

I will put blame on the man and the woman both of them, how come they have impregnated themselves living together not knowing that they are related by blood where have where have they put their families all these while.

I suspect they must have been living without the due process they are meant to go through as couples, this is an example of those doing relationship together without going through the due process.

If they have properly gone through their families and they are taking their pastors along all these would not have happened cuz they must have discovered one way or the other.
**Help the needy and love everyone**

Lol. This is incredible and also complicated.
Here is my own point of view. To me this couple have two options.
They have the option of choosing to follow what the word of God says or the way of the society.
If they will follow the word of God, then they can't divorce nor have an abortion because God says he hates divorce and abortion is the murdering of a human being especially when the baby has started forming and it not longer blood. As far as am concern, they are not to be blame because they didn't known before they were joined together as husband and wife.
The second option they have is to follow the way of society which frowns in having a intimate relationship with blood and get divorced and also abort the baby.
To the best of my knowledge, this two options are the options these people have. Its left for them to choose.
**Redeemed to reign**

To me both of them are to be blamed. Why didn't they go for this DNA test before marriage? At least it is everywhere that couples to be are always advised to go for all the necessary tests and counselling before marriage, why didn't they go for one? If they had done all of these tests and counselling before marriage, am sure they would have found out that they are related by blood and this chaos would have been avoided.
I think what is happening to this guy will be a warning to so many people out there that you don't just rush into marriage because seriously I do watch lots of movies and these guys will just rush into marriage without doing all these proper procedures. There are so many people out there that will just engage their partner and boom they will start living together and start procreating, leaving the marriage ceremony for sometime in the future so I think this is a warning to us all.
As for this couple, I will suggest that they sit down and go for a win win solution for themselves in other words come to agreement of the best thing for both of them.
**Wonders**

Well there are reasons for everything

@Wonders: A lot of test are doone before marriage like genotype test, pregnancy test, Hiv are carried out before marriage. But genotype is never carried out before Marriage.

You cannot blame these couples in question for what is happening to them because anyone make such mistake as well.
I know every religion and even the society frowns at such act of marriage, the same thing goes to every tribe.
I would have advised that they get a divorce, but right now she's already pregnant for the step brother.
Since she's already pregnant and she's not in support of an abortion.
I would suggest that she gives birth to the child first.

They she and her husband need to sit and come to an agreement on the next step to take. Which is whether to divorce her or continue with the relationship.

**liltech**

Hmmmmnnn.... I feel by now the woman would have given birth to the child.

@lilcent: you're right about the fact that these couples cannot be blamed for this issue as they had no idea they were related.
But right now I feel the best they can do for themselves is to go their separate ways as this marriage cannot hold.
They might love each other so much no doubt, but imagine the stigma the children would go through once the society finds out that their parents are related by blood.

They might find it very hard to live with it.

So I feel the best they can do is to break up for their own good.
**LAGOS**

@lilcent:
The first thing you said was that a lot of test are carried out before marriage and you included genotype then later you said "but genotype is never carried out before marriage"
I really don't understand you, your words are contradicting each other I guess or is there a difference between genotype and genotype test that I don't know about? Please enlighten me.
**Wonders**

The good thing is that the woman is his half sister. They can be married,just as it was between the biblical Abraham and his wife Sarah who was also his half sister.

There is no use aborting that child.

This is one good thing about DNA by the way.
**I love being me.**

@Obajichi: I would never encourage them to abort the child, but to continue with the marriage is not an option.
Based on the fact that there are alot of health risk when two persons of the same blood eventually get married to each other.
Their child could be deformed because both parents are of the same blood.
To continue with the marriage is not the right thing to do.
It is better they go their separate ways.
**Just me**

Only advice I can give is that the man should allow the wife to give birth to child before anything
Because if she's going to terminate the pregnant, another thing may likely happen
**Olasunkanmi**

It happened but the two of them should sit talk about it and conclude .
They should not terminate the pregnancy because they did not know the type of child that is coming.

**Olatoke **

@Olatoke: You're right about that, I don't think terminating the pregnancy is the right thing to do.
