Dead woman married twice in China, probe begins

Investigators in China\'s Hebei province are shocked after coming across a bizarre incident in which a woman\'s corpse was married twice. During this year\'s Spring Festival, a family surnamed Wu sold their daughter\'s dead body for $5,557 to a man surnamed Liu who wanted to perform a \"yin marriage\" - a marriage between two dead bodies - between the Wu\'s daughter and Liu\'s younger brother, the Global Times reported. After the \'wedding\', the two deceased lovebirds were buried in a single tomb. But later it was discovered that the tomb had been destroyed and Wu\'s body was missing. Enraged, Liu immediately reported about the disappearance of his missing \"sister-in-law\" to the police. A few weeks later, police tracked down five men, accusing them of exhuming and stealing the body of the girl to marry her off again, for a sum of 30,000 yuan, to another family, surnamed Li. This family was also in search of a corpse for one of their deceased male family members. The case is being further probed.
