Forget the ban on gay marriage...

**Fallen Angelia** · 02-12-2004, 01:15 AM

The idea is, if you planned to get married but death unfortunetly stuck your partner, that you can carry through with your plans to be wed to said person. I see nothing wrong with this, and this decision should be made on a more individual basis.

However, I am not sure what I think of the fact that someone can marry me, once I pass on. It's what your name represents to the world when you are no longer here, so in this respect, I definetly believe there should be a very closed critique if this is going to be a legalized practice. I don't think this should apply to most, and should not be taken lightly by any parties involved.

And if this is to be made legalized here, well then I'm going to have to review my will again..

I must admit I'm kind of curious how they are going to consummate the marriage...

I don't want to know about that, I don't think that's legal in France, least I hope it's not.

Freaky....

Okay, not really. He's just crazy.

If my significant other died, I would marry him. Dead or alive, I will still love him. Marriage isn't about the legal benefits, it's a symbol of devotion and love that even death cannot take away.

Ah yes. I heard about that on Ripley's believe it or not. The woman had killed herself because her family had not given her the blessing to marry her love.

As for marrying a corpse. I don't really see a big deal, though if they do "divorce" wouldn't it be hard to find other men? They'd probably see as a lunatic.

I'd say that it's ok, but really there's no point in doing it. I would rather get married to someone while they're alive. Once that person died, everything about that person is gone except for maybe the memories of that person.

"What happened to your ex-husband?"

"He died"/"He's still dead"

Decisions, decisions...
