Ana Parra met her half-brother, Daniel Parra, at the age of 20, and they immediately felt a strong connection. The Spanish siblings, now parents of two children, are advocating for a change in legislation to permit their marriage.
Ana had always known about her estranged half-brother as her father had left her to start a new family. Daniel, previously unaware of Ana’s existence, was informed by someone about the possibility of having a sister.
After locating Daniel on Facebook, Ana proposed a meeting, which led to what they describe as love at first sight. Despite initially struggling to accept their feelings due to societal taboos, they eventually shared their first kiss at a party.
Following a trip to London where they felt free to express their affection publicly, they decided to reveal their romantic relationship. Despite facing online criticism for their incestuous union, the couple, now with two children, maintains that their offspring are healthy.
While consensual incest is legal in Spain, marriage between relatives is prohibited by the Spanish Civil Code. Daniel and Ana aspire to challenge this restriction, emphasizing the importance of love over societal norms and advocating for societal progress.
They believe that their story should be shared to promote understanding and acceptance, comparing their situation to the advancement of marriage rights for homosexuals.
