People are asking the same thing after finding out conjoined twin Abby Hensel is married
Just like with any phenomenon that is rare, people have a whole lot of questions
Living a life as conjoined twins would likely come with a fair few battles, but Abby and Brittany Hensel have seemed to make it work.
The twins from the US rose to fame from an early age, making an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show back in 1996 when they were six years old.
The fascination surrounding the two continued as they got older and the girls were able to land their own reality TV show.
Earlier this year, reports revealed that Abby Hensel had married US Army veteran Josh Bowling back in 2021, according to a report by Today.

As you can imagine, when this news hit social media, people had a fair few questions on how it all works, specifically whether Josh is just married to Abby or technically Brittany too.
Making a relationship work is difficult at the best of times, but most can imagine it can get a little more complicated logistically when another person is completely involved.
The women are joined at the torso, with each person controlling their half of the body, though some features differ, such as Brittany being slightly shorter.
With the complications of conjoined twins and the recent news of Abby's marriage, it seems like social media users all have the same concern.
Writing on social media, one person wrote: "How does this unfold legally? Since they are two people married to one man, who is on the marriage certificate?"
Another user responded as they added: "Ngl, for some reason, I was expecting there to be two guys.
"Having only the one guy makes it more confusing. What if they fight? What if one h/w set wants to divorce and the other doesn't?"
"One of the many, many, maaaany questions I have," said a third.
A fourth gave clarity as they wrote, "One of the twins will be the legal spouse as far as the state is concerned. So it is theoretically possible that the other twin could someday decide to marry a different person. But given the way they have had to harmonize their entire lives, I imagine they would find it easier to stick to being married to just one person."
So far, the happy couple have not revealed the technicalities of their relationship, or how their marriage works behind closed doors - and there's no harm in keeping that little bit a secret for the world.
I mean, none of our business, really, is it?
