French Woman Marries Dead Partner

Paris, France (AHN) – A French law on posthumous marriage allowed a woman from eastern France to marry her dead partner on Saturday.

Mayor Christopher Caput of Dommary-Baroncourt village granted the request of 26-year old Magali Jaskiewicz to marry 25-year-old Jonathan George, who died in a car accident two days before their scheduled wedding in January.

The bride used a portrait of George during the wedding ceremony attended by family members and friends.

The two had been living together since 2004 until George’s untimely death. They have two daughters aged 18 months and three years.
