  Boundaries of the I-Function in Twins
The frequency of identical twins is 3.5 per 100 births (1) and the frequency of conjoined twins is 1 birth per 50,000 with only 100 known cases surviving their first year (5).
The Hensel twins are the most clear and obvious example of twins sharing experiences, behaviors, and thoughts leading to the support of one connected I-Function in twins.
Twins sharing the same genetic information, identical, conjoined, and even sometimes half-identical, seem to be one step closer in figuring out what the I-Function really is. Evidence suggests that they share parts of or the same I-Function and any deviation separating the I-functions of the two is due to intrinsic variability.

 Abigail and Brittany Hensel: an extraordinary bond | the Daily Mail
The Hensels are believed to be one of only four sets of dicephalus twins in history to survive infancy and, to mark their 16th birthday last year, the girls allowed the cameras into their fiercely guarded private world to share this milestone in their lives.
When the Hensel twins were born on March 7, 1990 in Minnesota in the United States, doctors warned their parents Patty, a registered nurse, and Mike, a carpenter and landscaper, that they were unlikely to survive the night.
Patty had no idea she was carrying twins until the birth at the local hospital where she worked; she was heavily sedated after the delivery as doctors realised the seriousness of the situation and whisked the twins to a larger hospital in the nearest big city.

Both men/women married to a set of conjoined twins would have to be extremely tolerant and understanding of each other, they would also have to trust each other to not abuse their relationship with the twin who they were not married to.
It has to be remembered though that conjoined twins are always two individual people, each person who is a conjoined twin is no different from any other human being and therefore they have every right to each have their own spouse.
Inevitably in the case of twins sharing a lower body, it would be physically polygamous whether the twins married one person or two, but the difference here is that the conjoined twins were born this way, they are naturally together sharing one body and therefore it is not morally wrong, but natural in this instance.
