Title: Ghost brides are murdered to give dead bachelors a wife in the afterlife
Post by: Foxy Brown on June 11, 2007, 11:12:38 PM
A ring of gangsters who traded in the bodies of women they murdered, selling them as brides to keep dead bachelors happy in the afterlife, has been arrested in China.

The arrests have exposed a trade that places a higher value on women when they are dead than when they are alive.  (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article1296184.ece)

The men preyed on the superstitions of ill-educated farmers eager to ensure that a dead son was happy in the afterlife. It is not uncommon in rural parts of China for a family to seek out the body of a woman who has died to be buried alongside their son after the performance of a marriage ceremony for the deceased pair.

Haha...Farmers.. (http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/7144/youcrazyfy2.gif)

There was something a bit like this on an episode of Bones..but it wasn't people who mudered them selling them.
The parents were just pairing up their dead single kids to havea partner later in life...so is similar

But making a bussiness out of it O.o
