Marriage and sexual activity of conjoined twins

    Apologies if this comes across as being tongue in cheek, it’s just something I thought about.

    I don’t think there was ever a test case in Ireland.

    Imagine a scenario where a set of conjoined twins have two separate heads but share most of the same body and sexual organs.

    If one of the twins heads makes s decision to marry, can they legally do that?

    Would the man be married to the two twins or only one of them?

    If one of them consents to sex, would the man need consent from the other head, otherwise is it rape?

    I’m thinking about the American conjoined twins Brittany and Abby Hensel.

    Hi nuac. Why is this locked? It’s just an interesting legal discussion I thought of.
