Posthumous marriage, otherwise known as necrogamy, is the term given to marriages where one participating member is dead. In some societies, it is possible and even an established practice.
 
In France, it is explicitly legal to marry a deceased person. Article 171 of the French civil code states: “The President of the Republic may, for serious reasons, authorize the celebration of the marriage where one of the future spouses is dead”. 

During WWI, the French government allowed hundreds of women to marry their partners who died in the war. Decades later, France opened up posthumous marriages for civilians as well. When a broken dam killed 400 people in Frejus, French President Charles de Gaulle allowed Iréne Jodart, who lost her fiance André Capra in the 1959 incident, to marry his ghost.

To this day, posthumous marriages continue to be granted in France, often under similar devastating circumstances. Magali Jaskiewicz married her deceased fiance in 2009, after he died in a car accident two days after proposing to her.
 
China, Sudan, South Korea, Germany, South Africa, Japan and even the U.S. are other countries where judges have allowed similar forms of wedlock to be recognized by law.
 
Isaac Woginiak, a resident of Miami, Florida, died of a heart attack in 1987, before his impending marriage. Two weeks later, Circuit Judge George Orr ordered the court clerk to sign a marriage license on behalf of Woginiak, so that his widow could follow through with their wedding.
