Ghost marriage (Chinese) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ghost marriage (Chinese)
In Chinese tradition, a ghost marriage () is a marriage in which one or both parties are deceased.〔Stockard, Janice E. ''Daughters of the Canton Delta''〕 Other forms of ghost marriage are practiced worldwide, from Sudan, to India, to France since 1959 (see Levirate marriage, Ghost marriage in Sudan and Posthumous marriage). The origins of Chinese ghost marriage are largely unknown, and reports of it being practiced today can be found. == Types ==
Chinese ghost marriage was usually set up by the family of the deceased and performed for a number of reasons, including the marriage of an engaged couple before one member's death,〔Topley, Marjorie. "Ghost Marriages Among the Singapore Chinese"〕 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.〔
