Can you marry an inanimate object

Articles — of the Civil Code govern marriage in Japan. Nowhere in that code are people permitted to marry inanimate objects. Even just as a matter of practicality, to be legally married both parties must sign the marriage license in front of an official, with one other witness. In a Korean man named Lee Jin-gyu was reported to have married his pillow.

However, a legal marriage appears to have never taken place. Often, like with Lee Jin-gyu, it is largely a media stunt and entertainment. Then when he goes out to eat, he takes it with him and it gets its own seat and its own meal.

There was even a TV show discussing the marriage where Lee Jin-gyu is the featured guest. So while most of the events are true, we have found no evidence to support that an official marriage took place or that if it did it would be a legal marriage. Rather it seems that following the TV appearance Lee made good on his on TV promise to go take wedding photos, but never actually made good on his promise to get married.

But maybe it's an anchor for me, something I can identify with. No matter how mad my life might be or what may happen that stone is stability and comfort.

I guess she really had to burn all her bridges to get to that point Bollywood movie star and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai participated in an ancient Hindu ritual ceremony in which the bride spiritually marries a tree. The ritual is allegedly to help overcome differences in the couple's astrological charts — disparities which traditional Hindus believe have negative consequences on marriage.

Under this ancient belief, Rai is considered a 'manglik' because her chart bears the planet Mars, and she must be 'married' to a peepal tree, a banana tree or a silver or golden idol of the Hindu god Vishnu in order to overcome the devastating effects being a 'manglik' could have on her impending nuptials. Rai was also hit with a lawsuit, so it didn't take away ALL bad luck; she faced a civil lawsuit for practicing the 'untouchability' service, which is associated with the caste system, because such ceremonies are in violation of the Indian constitution and are deemed offensive to women.

According to the news story, "the ceremony appeared to be a wedding like any other, with the bride's anxious family waiting outside the temple for the groom's arrival beforehand. The bride wore a wedding dress, complete with gold jewelery and rings and a gold necklace that had belonged to Tsai was placed on the doll.

Tsai's dowry was also included in the ceremony, represented by a paper model of a red Mercedes car. It was then burned so she could use it in the afterlife.
