Conjoined twins with two heads and one reproductive system will not allow marriage because the one body has two souls and two cognizant minds. Since both minds share their one feminine lower part, a male having sex with such a being would amount to three cognizant minds of the sexual action, the cognizance of the male and both minds of the female. In the Old Testament before the time of the close relative law, perhaps this could have legitimately been permitted, but not afterward. The law of God provides insight, instruction, moral, ethic and the way to guide those suffering from even a mishap of nature, such as when eggs don't fully separate. The beginning: No Law Against Close Relative Sex Although incest is a horrible sin today, it was not always a sin. In early biblical times, sexual relationships of what we call incest today were necessary to bring posterity to the progenitors. People could not have multiplied otherwise. However, eventually the law of Moses was given and close-relative sex was limited. The Torah: Incest law In order to understand what is Biblically acceptable concerning the close relative law of marriage, you must realize that God's commandments were given in dispensations. From the beginning, Adam and Eve were the progenitors of the whole earth. Thus, hypothetically, through regeneration, the earth could not have been filled with people without one of their sons having sex with one of their daughters. The close relative law was not in effect at that time. Even later on, as the world passed, what was once permitted in Jacob's time was incriminated in Lv. 18:18. As time continued, God's laws were increased and written. Eventually and finally, the New Testament books were written. So, even with a brief recalling, the marriage between cousins may seem surprisingly close today; however, it did not violate the close relative law of Lv. 18:6- 18. Leviticus 18:6-18 6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD. 7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 8 The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father’s nakedness. 9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover. 10 The nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or of thy daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness. 11 The nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: she is thy father’s near kinswoman. 13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: for she is thy mother’s near kinswoman. 14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt. 15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son’s wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: it is thy brother’s nakedness. 17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness. 18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time. Merely marrying sisters was later condemned, so considering the dicephalic girls as potential polygamists or dual wives would not be ethical. Furthermore, polygamy was encouraged in the Old Testament only (Exodus 21:10), not in the New Testament (I Cor. 7: 27). Abby and Brittany must not marry under their unfortunate circumstances. Amen.
