How to add a common parent when there is inter marriage in the leneage

Question

Hi ,

My tree starts with two sisters of the same parents. (Great grantmothers)

Now the grant daughter on one sister and grandson of the other sister got married to each other. Hence I cannot add same parents to these great grandmothers.

I tried adding parents to one sister which is ok, but when i tried to set same parents for the other sister(using change parents and types), system is showing a duplication of names. How can i fix it?
