First Trio "Married" in The Netherlands
BrusselsJournal.com ^ | 9/27/05 | Paul Belien

The Netherlands and Belgium were the first countries to give full marriage rights to homosexuals. In the United States some politicians propose “civil unions” that give homosexual couples the full benefits and responsibilities of marriage. These civil unions differ from marriage only in name.

Meanwhile in the Netherlands polygamy has been legalised in all but name. Last Friday the first civil union of three partners was registered. Victor de Bruijn (46) from Roosendaal “married” both Bianca (31) and Mirjam (35) in a ceremony before a notary who duly registered their civil union.

“I love both Bianca and Mirjam, so I am marrying them both,” Victor said. He had previously been married to Bianca. Two and a half years ago they met Mirjam Geven through an internet chatbox. Eight weeks later Mirjam deserted her husband and came to live with Victor and Bianca. After Mirjam’s divorce the threesome decided to marry.

Victor: “A marriage between three persons is not possible in the Netherlands, but a civil union is. We went to the notary in our marriage costume and exchanged rings. We consider this to be just an ordinary marriage.”

Asked by journalists to tell the secret of their peculiar relationship, Victor explained that there is no jealousy between them. “But this is because Mirjam and Bianca are bisexual. I think that with two heterosexual women it would be more difficult.” Victor stressed, however, that he is “a one hundred per cent heterosexual” and that a fourth person will not be allowed into the “marriage.” They want to take their marriage obligations seriously: “to be honest and open with each other and not philander.”

>>>"“I love both Bianca and Mirjam, so I am marrying them both,”<<<

Then there is the story about a love struck young man that asked his Sweetheart to Marry him, she said "NO" and he lived happily ever after.

ping ping ping, no fourth ping though. The first ping is all man and won't have none of that.

Believe it or not, I had a very good friend who lived in a triad relationship...very weird. They rarely work out. One inevitably gets jealous.

and there it is...

With the push for gay marriage in full force, there is nothing to stop other kinds of unconventional types of marriage either.

Just like many of uf believe, you give in to one group, then all the others want "rights" too.

This ought to be a conservative "see, I told you so" moment.

You are right. It is only a natural progression of destroying marriage.

Indeed. Unchecked, the Lawrence case will allow this in America.

He's just maximizing his options. When the gals are busy with each other, rather than going back to his room frustrated he can just watch. And when one has a headache, the other might not.

I'm really serious here. When the centrality of life focuses on pleasure and sex, and not God, then this is an inevitable outcome.

And this is to be distinguished from your standard and basic polygamy, such as practiced by Mormons and in the Muslim world. Polygamy is about families and rearing children. Note that the article does not mention children for any of the three Dutch adults. Their relationship, bizarre as it is, is only about sex.

Do each of those several young, virginal type women come with a mother-in-law?

Well, judging from the picture and the time I have spent in Europe--it's about freakdom.
