A woman has married her dead boyfriend at a ceremony in France - after getting permission from President Sarkozy. Karen Jumeaux, 22, made use of an obscure French law to wed fiance Anthony Maillot - almost two years after he was killed in a road accident.

She wrote to President Nicolas Sarkozy to ask permission for a posthumous wedding, which was granted because she could prove they were already planning to marry.

The couple met in 2007 and had a baby boy in 2009, shortly before his death at the age of 20. She married in a white dress and in the presence of family and friends at the town hall ceremony in Dizy-le-Gros, eastern France.
