This form of marriage is secular in nature and from what little I understood when looking for answers on French websites, it seems that the legal status of the applying party is changed to "widowed" rather than "married". However, the legal affair itself is conducted after one part of the involved people is deceased, therefore it's a marriage, assuming the applicant provides evidence pointing towards a planned matrimony between her/him and the deceased, after death but divorce is not necessary because the newly acquired legal status does not require further legal separation.kosherbacon wrote:So uh, how 'bout that posthumous marriage, guys? How does divorce work?
But please take that all with a grain of salt, I think my French is only good enough for translating the menu and deciphering the bill.
I believe if this would be more common and legal in Japan, it would make for a touching ending for a storyline. Imagine the girl of your choice silently reverberating with remembrance while looking at or touching a certain golden band her right or left hand, or in Rin's case at a necklace with that one special ring. (By the way, does anyone know if Japanese wear their wedding bands on their left or their right hand?)
You might want to have a look into My Lovely Ghost Kana, but I advise you to not read it a your workplace.Panty Supervisor wrote:Cadaver Shoujo?
Seriously, a visual novel centered around a group of dead girls would be awesome.
