Double-trouble. Dutch man legally in "civil union" with 2 women | |
2005-10-01 | |
The Netherlands has legalized polygamy in all but name, granting a civil union to a man and two women. Victor de Bruijn, 46, of Roosendaal "married" both Bianca, 31, and Mirjam, 35, in a ceremony Friday, the Brussels Journal reported. "I love both Bianca and Mirjam, so I am marrying them both," said de Bruijn who previously was married to Bianca. Getting ready for sharia, I guess. The couple met Mirjam Geven two and a half years ago through an Internet chatroom, and eight weeks later Mirjam left her husband to live with Victor and Bianca. After Mirjam's divorce the threesome decided to marry, the Journal reported. De Bruijn explained: "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." I don't. DeBruijn insisted there is no jealousy between the three partners because Mirjam and Bianca are bisexual. "I think that with two heterosexual women it would be more difficult," he said, noting he is "100 percent heterosexual."
A fourth person would not be allowed in their marriage, de Bruijn said, emphasizing they want to take their marriage obligations seriously. You're supposed to put "drink alert" before saying things like that. | |
