Half-siblings who share two children together are fighting for their right to get married.
Ana and her half-brother Daniel Parra were estranged for much of their lives before meeting and falling in love.
While they knew of each other's existence, Ana's dad abandoned her before fathering other kids with another woman.

Daniel, born to her dad's second lover, finally met his half-sister when Ana tracked him down through social media.
She said: "My mum told me my dad had left us to start another family and he had had another child."
So when she tracked Daniel down on Facebook, the pair, from Spain, met and couldn't help but feeling an attraction.
She said: "We were angry with ourselves as it was hard to break the taboo: We're siblings although we didn't feel it."
Talking about the first time the pair locked lips, Ana added: "We were partying.
"We approached each other slowly and gave each other our first kiss."
Afterwards, Ana recalled: "We went our separate ways, we were somewhat ashamed of what had just happened."
But Daniel added: "That kiss broke all barriers, marked a before and after, it was like a reality check."
A few days later, the half-siblings realised they couldn't carry on without seeing each other again.
Daniel said: "Imagine liking a girl and, for a moral reason, being forbidden to be with her. It's really hard to deal with."

The two started spending time together without revealing they were romantically involved.
It was only after a trip to London where behaved like a normal couple that they went public with their relationship.
Speaking about the trip, Anna said: "That was the first time we can say that we behaved, in public, like a real couple.
"We went out to dinner, we took walks. It was like an explosion of freedom."
And the couple even decided to go public on TV.
Ana continued: "We didn't feel like telling everyone our story one by one, so that's why we decided to tell it this way."
However, it didn't take long for trolls to criticise them online.

"There are people who have written to us on social media telling us that we're going to burn in hell," Ana detailed.
But now the couple have two children together, aged three and five.
The children know their parents are half-siblings "although they're young and don't understand".
Despite the risk of being born with a recessive disease due to their parents being related, the kids are healthy.
Although incest is not a crime in Spain, the Spanish Civil Code prohibits marriage between direct relatives.
Ana concluded: "We love each other and that is what should prevail. We are not harming anyone.
"That is why we want people to know our story."
