I know twins are venerated in Many African cultures!!! The Ganda people in Uganda for example its a great pride for the family and especially the mother. In traditional communities she will be treated like a queen by the other women, they'll really treat her with respect. On top of that all the family members get new names and there are certain names for a mother of twins, a brother of twins, a father of twins and so on. And the twins will get special names too of course,

Malstrom:
If you meen veneration like towards icons I dont know

So, the husband can enjoy the body of his wife by any means he wants, and if this caused the falling of the milk in his mouth, so the marriage is still ok and not broken, but this doesnot mean that the wife's bosom milk is considered as a source of nutrition for the husband, and it shouldn't be.

Since I Know virtually no Yoruba

must have been a custom practiced in the abandoned land and they settled with it into the aboriginal land.

the discussion between Debo and I on Obatala being a reference of the consciousness to a historical link with Atlantis and that this had to be the Phoenician element

the author has pointed out that the cosmic notions of the Yoruba markedly resemble those of the ancient Etruscans. Both divide the universe into quadrants again subdivided into quarters each of which is presided over by a distinct deity.

The system of divination is also quite similar and so is the method of turning about during prayer. These and other homologies are accepted as proof of historical contact and Frobenius sets himself the question whether the imported culture reached the Yoruba country by overland routes through Africa or by way of the Strait of Gibraltar and the West African coast .

Frobenius selects four cultural elements for special treatment- the impluvial style of architecture (impluvialbau) the bow, the loom and the cosmic conceptions.

Hence Yoruba architecture must be assumed to have been imported by a sea route

Among the stone monuments in a sacred grove he describes a monolith of triangular section which the natives declare was formerly used as a kind of chronometer when the shadow cast by the structure touched certain definite points of a circumscribed circle the time had come for certain sacred observances

In conclusion, I suspect that this is one of the things that Allah has deliberately keep silent on as a mercy/benefit to us!

the answer is a bold NON!
Islam does not allow you to marry the child of the woman who suckled you, why because she is your mother even though not biological.

if you look at it from that logical point you can deduce that there is more to the milk in a woman's bosom than what our limited knowledge has given us.

so my answer is no. it is not worth the risk as you wouldn't like Allah to judge her after that as your mother.

and Allah knows best.
