Reply #9: She is his wife

[Terre]

and he has the RIGHT to decide how and where her remains are to be interred. Just because her parents refuse to let her go, even in "life", and because they've "lost" the court battles doesn't mean he should give in to them. For heaven's sake - what if she had died naturally, and with no complications, would he still have to abide by their wishes?

None of us know the depth of his love for her still, but I'd guess it's pretty damn strong, and his current partner has nothing to do with that.

Her parents need to get on with their life, and let their daughter go.
