We find correlation between the projected rotational velocities (spins) in binary systems. Tidal interaction could be the reason for such a correlation in close binaries. There is, however, strong spin correlation in visual binaries as well; moreover, it is independent of the separation of the components. Our results therefore indicate the possibility that spin correlation in binaries is the result of evolutionary history, rather than that of tidal interaction. Studies of spin correlation in binaries could thus be an important tool in understanding the evolution of such systems.
