Also called a posthumous marriage, the practice of allowing someone to marry a dead person is alive and well (no pun intended) in France. Don’t get too excited, though. This is not a loophole for you to gain French citizenship by marrying a dead French person because there are certain conditions that need to be met:

The dead person had to have had the intention of marrying the alive person before their death and you need to prove it.
There needs to be serious grounds for the marriage.
The president of France must approve the marriage.
If you meet all the criteria then the marriage would be back-dated to the day before the bride or groom died.
The practice of marrying a dead person is also allowed in China and Sudan under certain circumstances.
