A 26-year-old woman who married her dead fiance is one of dozens every year in France who marry partners after they have died, which is legal in France. Magali Jaskiewicz of Dommary-Baroncourt in eastern France married Jonathan George, who died a year ago in a car accident, two days after visiting town hall to set a wedding date. The two had lived together for six years and had two children together.
