France’s Civil Code
Article 171
(Act no 59-1583 of 31 Dec. 1959)
The President of the Republic may, for grave reasons, authorize the celebration of the marriage where one of the
future spouses is dead after the completion of the official formalities indicating unequivocally his or her consent.
In this case, the effects of the marriage date back to the day preceding that of the death of the spouse.
However, this marriage may not involve any right of intestate succession to the benefit of the survivor and no
matrimonial regime is considered to have existed between the spouses
