Mum who married her own son in Russia speaks of 'spark' between the couple

A mum who married her own son has spoken of the moment she knew there was a spark between them.

Aisylu Chizhevskaya Mingalim, 53, and adopted son Daniel Chizhevsky, 22, tied the knot last Friday, October 20, at a restaurant in Kazan, Tatarstan Republic, Russia, reports the Daily Mirror.

The move has horrified child welfare experts, with the pair having first met when musician Aisylu was giving singing lessons at the orphanage where Daniel lived when he was just 13-years-old. She adopted Daniel when he was 14 and told local media the romance sparked after she took the teenager home.

She said: "Our relationship is perfect. We can't live without each other. We are on the same wavelength."

Officials have now seized five adopted children - four girls and one boy - from her care and she plans to flee to Moscow in an effort to keep them. Aisylu says that some of the children have been put back into care homes while others have returned to family members. She also has a biological son from an earlier marriage.

Local media reported that Aisylu began adopting children after encountering orphans during a film project with a Tatarstan TV station.

Earlier this year it was reported that another woman, Patricia Spann, married two of her biological children - and wanted to start a relationship with a third.

Spann's eldest son, who claims she attempted to seduce him, described her as "worthless", "disgusting" and a "predator".

"I think she's just a sick, twisted individual that has something messed up in her head," Cody Spann told People in September 2016.

The sickening love triangle was unintentionally discovered by the authorities, leading to the family being torn apart while mother and daughter were locked up behind bars.
