    There was a man who was born before his father, killed his mother, and married his sister. Yet, there was nothing wrong with what he had done. Why?

    good luck with this.

    Taking a guess...

    His father was present at his birth … so he was born "before" his father.

    His mother died in childbirth... his father remarried.. his second wife had a daughter.

    He married the daughter of his father's second wife, his stepsister.

    His sister is his step-sister so he could legally marry her.

    His father happened to be in front of him when he was born. We can conclude that he was born before him. His mother passed away while giving birth to him. Eventually, he grew up up to be a minister. Turned out he married his sister at her ceremony.

    Would you believe that I thought of the answer yesterday morning while I was half asleep and half awake? It's so obvious when you stop and think about it.

    Is @Emily Brown going to post one?

    As you had half the answer and the rest in your mind.. you post next one @Shirley Martin. Then I will.

    What is so delicate that even mentioning it breaks it?

    That could well be the correct answer Thomas. But alas is not. @Thomas Stearn
