Although this incident is reported from South India, there have been similar incidences before. A Taiwanese man had married his dead girlfriend's ashes in a bridal urn. The urn holding the ashes was dressed in a white wedding dress and after the ceremony, he roamed around the streets with the urn in his hand and the incense stick burning. Another man called Chadil Deffy from Thailand also married his girlfriend who died in a car crash. He put a ring on her finger during her funeral ceremony.
