Anyone that can solve the below riddle would be my hero!
"Peter and George decided to go out together. Both of them had their wife as well as daughter with them. In total, they were four, how is it possible?"

this riddle is very nasty.it is not legal for one to marry grandfather,not in any religion.
But in rare parts of india and some other countries,polyandry is prominent.so,assume that peter and george married same girl and each has a daughter.this is less nasty.

That would be 5 people. Actually, in the U.S., you can marry anyone you like, they don't really care who it is.

Actually as "pinguhash" said: (more or less)
Peter was married and had a daughter, his wife died.
George was married and had a daughter, his wife died.
Then:
Peter married George's daughter.
George married Peter's daughter.
Peter was married and had a daughter, his wife died.
George was married and had a daughter, his wife died.
Then:
Peter married George's daughter.
George married Peter's daughter.

That is still equivalent of the girl marrying her own uncle. But it is less "eww" so I think its the most acceptable answer.
