It was all tears of sorrow after a family in China discovered that their teenager’s dead body had been stolen from her grave following what was suspected as ‘ghost marriage’.

The family now believes that the corpse was stolen for the same ghost marriage ritual.

Ghost marriage or Spiritual marriage is where corpses wed to living people in a ceremony thought to bring peace to the dead in afterlife in China.

It is carried out especially if either the bride or groom had died suddenly before a wedding or a child had died single.

The girl had been buried in what the relatives called a “modest” ceremony almost two decades ago.

They said her coffin contained “nothing of value”.

At the site of the woman’s overturned grave, a pair of gloves suspected of belonging to one of the tomb raiders has also been found and is now part of police evidence.

The family revealed strangers had once visited their home offering to purchase their relative’s body to become a ‘corpse bride’ for a ghost wedding.
