A German brother and sister who live as a couple and have four children are going to Germany's highest court to try to legalise their relationship.
The 29-year-old brother has already spent more than two years in prison for sleeping with his sister, and could be incarcerated again, his lawyer said.
They argue they are being denied the right to sexual freedom.
The pair did not grow up together. Patrick, the brother, had been adopted by a couple from Potsdam while his sister, Susan, grew up with their mother.
According to Spiegel online, while Patrick was in prison Susan had a fifth child with another man.
Their lawyer, Endrik Wilhelm, said that the pair are now living together again and plan to lodge their case within six weeks.
