There is no such practice in my culture since a marriage can only be agreed on in person and not by proxy. Though there are several rituals practiced if a beloved person dies. They too give relatives and friends peace of mind, and the deceased's (last) whishes are tried to be fulfilled and followed.
I first became aware of a 冥婚 due to the TV series "The Ghost Bride", a concept which was completely new to me.

It is a very unique concept indeed and only exist in very few cultures.
Good read
Thank you!
