In France, it is legal to marry a dead person.
This stems back to the World Wars where it was frowned upon that a woman have an illegitimate child - if the man died in combat, then a posthumous marriage certificate was issued. The child being "proof" that the man had the intention of marrying the woman.

I so wish I could recall specific facts about this, but I know it's true - it was confirmed by the company itself a little after-the-fact.
In the 70s/80s, there was a company manufacturing nerve agents in England (for the Cold War I think) and, to test it, they found a small town in the countryside and gassed the population - to this day there are still a higher-than-average percentage of children born with defects in the area.
Similar thing happened in America around the same time I believe, but it was never confirmed.

Have you got any links for this? I find it very hard to believe and it sounds like an urban myth more than anything.

I'll ask my dad - he was around (not in the town) when it happened and was the one who told me about it actually.
I'll get back to you (right or wrong, but I'm certain that's what happened).
