Ampersand questions the reports that this situation in Holland is "polygamy in all but name." I reported on it earlier here.
I am not convinced, because (a) I don't see how "registered partnerships" is distinct from "civil unions" and (b) the fact that the law doesn't allow for three-way registered partnerships doesn't mean that someone won't grant them, law be damned. Lots of things that are theoretically illegal are actually allowed because courts refuse to recognize the law as written.
UPDATE: Looking at the comments of the article on Alas, it appears that the agreement may be something very different from a marriage. Nore on this as it develops.
That is all.
