How about this scenario... They are about to allow gay marriage in Virginia (about time)... A couple, previously denied that right have been living together for 15 years waiting for the day when it would be legal to marry. They buy a house together... One partner dies of cancer suddenly. The surviving partner is left with nothing but memories. Being able to still marry world solve financial, family, and personal issues and harm no one.

Only if the bride and groom both say "I do" & sign the papers! But this would probably be difficult for a corpse!

No. What is there to share?... maybe cemetary dirt when you pass away?
best regards. Find your soulmate alive.

No.... dead people can't get married, get drivers licenses or go to Disneyland. They're dead and have to stay that way.

Being dead, they are not able to give their consent to the marriage ("I do") so they cannot marry.
