Quite interesting - they have effectively hacked the marriage system in Massachusetts.

>Kitten, Brynn and Doll had to work with the legalities of the state to get married to each other. As being married to more than one person is not currently legal, they had to combine handfasting, legally binding documents and legal marriage.

A family lawyer drew up paperwork - in terms of assets, wills and legal rights to children - to bind them all together as much as they could without an actual three way marriage.

Will there be repercussions?

For example, will they will be allowed to live together under one roof? A polygamous mormon family who have a TV show have to live in houses next door to each other as the law does not allow them to all live in the same house.

Also since the women are in a de facto three-way marriage, perhaps the campaign for marriage equality should support them?
