A staged video of a girl confessing to marrying her brother and claiming she is going to have his child has now been shared on social media as a real incident.

BOOM found that the video was created by a content creator named Kanhaiya Singh. The video also includes a disclaimer stating it was made for entertainment purposes. On his Facebook page, Singh describes himself as a video creator who 'makes prank videos.'

In the 1-minute 30 seconds video, a girl is seen stating that she married her brother and has been pregnant for one and a half months. A boy appears alongside her, claiming that he married his sister despite opposition from their family.
