Default now this is weird.....
..not the act itself, it's understandable (emotionally and financially speaking), but seriously, it's legal to marry a dead person but still gay marriage is illegal:

French woman marries dead partner | World news | guardian.co.uk

A French woman whose fiance asked her to marry him two days before he was killed in a car crash has been granted a posthumous white wedding in their village.

Under French law posthumous marriages are possible as long as evidence exists that the deceased person had the intention while alive of wedding their partner. According to Christophe Caput, the mayor who married Jaskiewicz, her request was "rock solid". If the the dead person would had been a woman?, would have been legal to marry her?

I guess she'll have to consummate the marriage during the rigor stage.

I wonder if they played Billy Idol's 'White Wedding' at the funeral/wedding? Speaking of which, she's wearing white at her wedding after already having two children! How passé.

Actually in France, gay marriage has been legal for years. To get technical, all legally-recognized marriages in France are "civil unions", as France separated the legal and religious aspects of marriage after the Revolution. You have a civil ceremony, and then -if you want- a religious one. It's a much more logical way of doing things.

In this case, it sounds like the woman is better off being the guy's window than simply the mother of his kids.

France has a lot of weird laws; you used to be able to adopt anyone no matter their age, so back in the middle of the 20th century, some gay men adopted their partners to assure that the partner would be treated as their heir if they died.
