Woman to hold ghost marriage with late boyfriend who was killed in car accident

In a very strange incident, a woman in Taiwan will hold a ghost marriage with her boyfriend whom she lost in a car accident on July 15.

The car accident claimed lives of two people and five others were injured in a four-car pile up on a highway in Taiwan.

The woman surnamed Yu was also in the crash, but she managed to rescue.

Yu recalled the accident as devastating when she saw her boyfriend, his sister and a friend trapped in the mangled car. She was also injured, but she tried to rescue them, but was not able to. She was only able to free a friend from the rear seat before rescuing other two people from another vehicle as reported by the South China Morning post.

Yu is reportedly planning a ghost marriage with her boyfriend in order to honour him and look after his ageing mother.

What is Ghost Wedding

Ghost weddings are 300-year-old tradition in China for the deceased people. Some elders think that people may not find peace in the afterlife if they die without getting married or fulfilling their wishes. A living individual takes part in the ghost marriage, representing the departed with their photo, worn clothes, and other artefacts. The ceremony adheres to traditional wedding rituals.

There are two other forms of ghost weddings in China that includes one involving a couple who either died before or during courtship, wherein the parents would then arrange a wedding and bury them together. The second is between people who were strangers all their life and are matched as a couple after death with the help of matchmakers.
