A couple in Ireland have discovered they are half-brother and sister after meeting in a nightclub, falling in love and having a child.
Although admitting they would have split if it wasn't for their child, they have vowed to stay together and have more children, the Daily Mail reports.
The young man in the couple was prevented from learning the truth about his parentage due to a family law case.
But the pair discovered they were related after DNA testing last month and are now considering legal action in a civil suit against a judge and a child psychologist.
"We’re not from a bad background and if someone had said to me that they were in a relationship like this, I would have said they were sickos," the young man was quoted as saying.
"When we found out that we were half-brother and half-sister, we were devastated. When I got the phone call with the DNA tests, it was like when you hear about someone you know has died or like when you are in a car crash."
"Before we found out that my girlfriend is my half-sister, we were talking about getting married and we would like more children. But we will get married and we will have more children."
The couple say they're speaking out to help other couples who might find themselves in a similar situation.
