I once read that in the past, when a man was not able to attend his own wedding, the wife could marry with his keris as a personification/substitute of the man.

Is there any thruth in this story ?

Ps. my wife would definately not agree to such a procedure

We've all heard this story, but never witnessed it in modern times...

Anyhow, I'd imagine if this was ever done, it was probably some high status men taking a concubine, or designed to snub the in-laws.

My guess...
