..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? |

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. |
