Ghost Marriage

ghost marriage?

Yes, I read it from yahoo news. According to the article it is a practice in China. Is that true?

Does it mean marrying a ghost?

That kind of practices are rare in modern times in any country. With regard to China itself, I've never heard any practice of ghost marriage around me. All these aside, marriage should be based only on love and should only be the relationship between two living humans.

it is interesting, can anyone explain to me what that is  ?

Do you mean something like this? [ Wikipedia]

  A Chinese ghost marriage was usually set up by the family of the deceased and performed for a number of reasons, including: the marriage of a couple previously engaged before one member’s death,to integrate an unmarried daughter into a patrilineage,to ensure the family line is continued,or to maintain that no younger brother is married before an elder brother.

Upon the death of her fiancé, a bride could choose to go through with the wedding, in which the groom was represented by a white cockerel at the ceremony.However, some girls were hesitant since this form of ghost marriage required her to participate in the funeral ritual, mourning customs.
