addresses in vout in rawtransactions

[BRules]

i couldnt find any related post about this. i'm kinda new in bitcoin especially in raw transactions.

when we decode a raw transaction we get something like this:

"vout" : [
{
"value" : 0.01000111,
"n" : 0,
"scriptPubKey" : {
"asm" : "OP_DUP OP_HASH160 06826dc0a355ba9018b5fd7dd1d97a7a6339d19a OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG",
"hex" : "76a91406826dc0a355ba9018b5fd7dd1d97a7a6339d19a88ac",
"reqSigs" : 1,
"type" : "pubkeyhash",
"addresses" : [
"1bRJVr9ZTF4oL8b9TB6YcCEjeVpv49qWm"
]
}
},...


as "addresses" is a json array, is there a way to specify multiple addresses in a single output in a transaction? if yes, why is this possible?

tks in advance.

It's for multisig transactions where more than one address can/is required to redeem. From tx 3d61531833ed89bd923956116c54d79bee9b0699e9c4357ec8afb096b6f31b9f:
