Teenage girl dug up to be 'corpse bride'
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...pse-bride.html
Five people have been arrested in China for digging up the corpse of a young woman to be a "ghost bride" for a man killed in a car crash.
The suspects included a grieving father who allegedly paid his four accomplices around £2,700 pounds to find a female to be his son's companion in the afterlife.
The men were caught after unearthing the remains of a teenage girl who had poisoned herself after failing her university entrance exams last year, a newspaper in Xianyang in China's Shaanxi province reported.
In rural China, superstitious villagers have for centuries sought out the bodies of recently deceased woman to be ghost brides for young men who die single.
Marriage ceremonies are conducted for the two corpses, and the bride is placed in the same grave as her husband.
Under Chairman Mao's rule, officials made strenuous efforts to stamp out the ghoulish practice but it has since resurfaced in some rural areas.
Last year, a gang in southern China was arrested for strangling young women to sell as ghost brides when the supply of female corpses in their area ran short.

Ghastly stuff, particularly the bit about young women being murdered to sustain the practice. And my word, suicide due to failing a university entrance exam? Further evidence of how the enormous pressure upon Asian students to succeed can occasionally have tragic results, I say.

Would you be so amused if it was a sister or best friend dug up or murdered?

I would still be quite amused if it were the prior, but the latter however would send me into a frenzious rage and I would attempt to kill the stupid people who screwed with my "sister or best friend."
The dug up part was actually interesting, and although it is fairly twisted in it's application... The idea itself is rather sweet, don't you think?

Not really. The idea seems misogynistic to me.

Don't forget the necrophelia case awhile back here in Wisconsin which prompted lawmakers to have to make a law against necrophelia. Before that I guess it was apparently legal.

Wait...
Barbaric practices?
Pointless wedding rituals?
Naive and stupid spiritual beliefs?
Murder?
Profiteering off said murder?
OH MY GOD! It's a clusterfuck of fail.

Not that it would help. Hell, I've been in therapy for a good eight years or so.

Unfortunately, misogyny seems to be quite prevalent in China.
