Controversy has been sparked as the first civil union between three separate partners was registered in Tupã, in the Northwestern region of Sao Paulo state, Brazil last week. The three-person union has shocked religious groups in the country, and sparked further concerns that the traditional family unit is being further eroded by the current day society.
The actual declaration of the union between the man and two women was in fact made three months ago, but it finally became public this week.
Notary officer, Claudia do Nascimento Domingues, has explained that the three partners lived together and wanted to publicly declare their status in order to guarantee their rights. Checks were conducted to see if there was any legal impediment to the unions and the notary office has confirmed that none were found.
Attorney Nathaniel Batista dos Santos Junior oversaw the legal process of creating the three-way declaration.
Brazil's recognition of a three-way union has caused outrage in some parts of the country, and many have taken to social media networks to vent their thoughts most expressing anger and indignation.
"Notary in SP registers stable union of three people. How can this be? Mankind is lost indeed," wrote Twitter user Maíra Rabassa.

"Notary registers stable union of 3 people. Man accompanied by two women. I don't know what to say," expressed the bewildered Yuri Guimaraes.
"Excuse my ignorance: Isn't this polygamy and, therefore, crime?" questioned another user.
One widely respected psychologist and evangelical Christian, Marisa Lobo, who is known for encouraging reparative therapy laws for homosexuals in Brazil, has been one of the most outspoken in expressing her outrage at the news: "Jesus, come back soon!"
"My faith and my indignation also grew. My question is: what are these law holders driving at? What is the media driving at? What are these groups driving at by confronting the society with totally distorted values?" she questioned, according to the Verdade Gospel publication.
According to Lobo, even an employee at the notary office, who confirmed to her that such a union had taken place, also expressed her shock and concern at the development.
"They live together and have legalized issues surrounding property and children ( ). I try to imagine the sons of these three people, how would they feel? But today everything is like this, we are even afraid to talk about it," said the Notary employee to Lobo.
Tayon Berlanga, the President of the Bar Association of Marilia, a city near Tupã, has confirmed that the document gives rights to the three in regards to the division of property. However, it does not guarantee family rights, such as death benefits, financing in banks, or dependence on health plans, it was claimed.
Exactly. You (meaning anyone reading this) didn’t really think they’d stop at just same-sex marriage did you? Every perversion is on the table, just waiting their turn. Every one.
Bigamy is the act of entering into a marriage with one person while still legally married to another person. But if a person gets married to two people during the same marriage ceremony, it's not bigamy.
That bridge was crossed some time ago...
How is this a shock as soon as any gay union is allowed this must happen.
Of course God, nor common sense ever recognize anything but traditional marriage-but in the minds of twisted humans (and our out of controll societies in 2012) which aren’t based on but a whiff of God’s laws anymore they, unfortunately have happened!
sigh... please don't use the blanket term "Europe" for all European countries. I'm an American who's lived in Poland for the past 2 years and no, the culture here is not like the UK or France. It is very conservative -- the gaymafia had to fight hard to get the first parade here two years ago and it was a mega flop so bad that they haven't organized a second. This country had 600 odd abortions last year, that's right only 600 odd, about 0.1% of all births were aborted.
the same is true of much of eastern europe.
Even in Western Europe different countries are on different paths of degeneration and even different parts of different countries....
What no Zebra or Unicorn to make it an even 4? What is wrong with these people?

“the same is true of much of eastern europe.”
That’s actually some encouraging news. The Poles know how bad athiestic communism can be.
well, the Poles 30+ —> unfortunately those younger were being seduced by Western European lifestyles. That seems to have reversed since the crisis, so let’s pray and hope...
The heteros have even more destructively "redefined" sex itself: obliterating its natural connection to procreation via drugs, devices and surgery. This is every bit as radical as obliterating one's natural gender by drugs, devices and surgery.
Once a society has accepted divorce and contraception, there isn't much "definition of marriage" left: it's been pretty thoroughly smashed. The gays and the poly's are just scavengers sifting through the rubble and picking out the garbled fragments they fancy.
