How to Legally Marry Someone Who is Dead...

30 Morbid Minutes

Necrogamy, or posthumous marriage, involves a living person marrying someone who is dead, or two dead people being married to each other, and is legally recognized in certain parts of the world. We look into what it takes to marry a deceased person in France, and how this unusually morbid custom was codified into French law.
