19 Summary Hsiang-shui Chen In the early days ghost marriage in Taiwan means that parents marry their dead daughters to the strangers. However, in the recent decades, some marry their dead daughters to their sons-in-law. This research has selected several villages in a Northern County, I-lan County and a Southern County, Tainan County as field sites. This article finds some interesting differences between these two counties, such as (1).more cases of married to one s own sister s husband occurred in Tainan than in I-lan. 2 there is a wedding certificate in Tainan County but not in I-lan County, (3). The living has to built a tomb (Feng-shui) for the dead bride, but not in Tainan County, (4). Many ghost marriages in Tainan were arranged by as the ritual specialists, but in I-lan the match-maker, the fortune-teller, and the friends will help to do it. (5). No doll as a image of bride was used in I-lan but popularly adopted in Tainan. (6). There is written contract to identify the worshipper for the dead bride, but not in Tainan County
