A mourning French woman who wrote the country's President seeking permission to marry her dead fiancé has had her request granted, The Local, Europe's News in English, reported.

The woman, only identified as Pascale, asked the office of French President Francois Hollande if she can marry her beloved Michael, who died one month they were supposed to get married in 2012.

"Although he is gone, he is still my man," Pascale told France Television this week, according to The Local.

The French head of state approved Pascale's wish, thanks to an obscure French law that permits a person to marry another person posthumously in certain situations. The person alive has to provide proof that they and the deceased were engaged.

The law was passed when a dam that broke in 1959 killed 420 people, including the fiancé of a pregnant woman. The president at the time, Charles de Gaulle, passed the law so the woman could marry her dead fiancé, The Local reported. 

Michael and Pascale were dating for six years and were set to wed in June 2012. But Michael suffered a heart attack and passed away.

Pascale wanted their love to last by marrying Michael, even if he was dead. Pascale wrote four letters to the president, asserting that her case was special enough for the law allowing posthumous marriages to be applied, The Local reported. 

 "I wrote with my heart. I went beyond just simple words and it was accepted," Pascale said, according to The Local.

It took nearly two years for Pascale to receive the OK. Her wedding will take place in the coming weeks in her town of St. Omer in northern France. Pascale will stand in front of the mayor with a picture of Michael, The Local reported.

"I will be his wife, I will carry his name," Pascale said, The Local reported.
