Would you engage in necrogamy?

Necrogamy or posthumous marriage is a marriage of two parties where one is deceased at the time of matrimony.

Most cases of necrogamy occur in France and China, as far as I know.

Yes

No

I don't see the use. It's allowed in France law but under extreme cases, the President has to actually give his consent for such an act to occur and the marriage has barely any effect except for the widow to carry her deceed "husband"'s last name.

[ElissaDido]

First time it was allowed , it was in order to legitimate a kid that was about to get born but the father and mother weren't married and they were about to get married but he died in an accident (because otherwise he would have been considered a besterd kid).
Nowadays it happens in very rare occasions because the concept of basterd kid doesn't exist anymore in French law, or at least not like before.

I understand why people do it as some people believe that you should never be alone in the afterlife, but as an atheist I don't believe in any of that so it is just weird.

[bcromartie]

I would. Then I could say I was married without the whole being annoyed by nagging or having to make space bit.

France... figures. Hashahahaha xD

[HookingSwan]

[rgb008]

[guyngals]

[Tdieseler]

That sounds super weird. No.

[FrenchyRomain]

uhm i am french and no... we don't have necrogamy

[Tdieseler]

its not some popular thing, they aren't gonna put that in the newspapers...

[FrenchyRomain]

@Tdieseler if someone married a dead person you would bet your ass that we would know... for instance we know that a woman is married to the eiffel tower (an American woman)

[FrenchyRomain]

we legally have the right to yes... but oddly enough no one does it... maybe we aren't stupid enough to do it?

[Tdieseler]

i heard about the eiffel tower one. That one is just light stupidity... marrying a corpse is morbid. People have married a lot of things and its been advertised but you've never seen necrogamy being advertised, you gotta look. it happens... and not just in France and China.

[FrenchyRomain]

@Tdieseler i knew i lost faith in humanity around 7 years ago... but i lost faith in humanity all over again

[Tdieseler]

because of necrogamy or because of me? lol...

[FrenchyRomain]

@Tdieseler necrogamy...

[Tdieseler]

oh.. ok... good lol. I like to be blamed for negative shit but "faith in humanity" uh-uh... i'll pass on that lol.

[abundantlyrich]
