Love knows no bounds—not even death. In this episode, we dive into both the ancient and modern practice of ghost marriage. From cultures that have upheld the practice of marrying the dead for centuries for tradition and necessity, to a woman who married a 300 year old pirate ghost in 2016 for love, we unravel this eerie yet deeply meaningful and in some cases - quite practical phenomenon.
Explore the historic roots, controversial modern cases and the psychology behind spirit relationships then vs now.

- The ancient practice of Ghost Marriage
- China’s Corpse Controversy
- The only country where it’s explicitly legal to marry a ghost
- The Romantic shift of Ghost Marriage in the Modern Era
