Marrying the Dead

A 3,000-year-old tradition of posthumous weddings.

Marrying the Dead
The ancient practice of "mínghūn," or ghost marriage, is still occasionally performed in some rural parts of China. It involves a wedding ceremony for two deceased people, or for one living and one deceased person. The belief is that it ensures the unmarried dead are not alone and unfulfilled in the afterlife.
