A man with terminal cancer has married a sex doll, the British Daily Mail reports.

The man, 28, said he wanted to marry before he died, but did not want to leave a young, grieving widow.

“In order not to hurt other people’s feelings, he chose to marry an artificial doll instead of a real person,” China Central Television (CCTV) reported.

The wedding pictures do not differ much from those of any other couple.

In the wedding portrait, he hugs his “bride” -- who is dressed in a flowing white gown -- in front of a sunlit window, staring lovingly into her eyes.

In other portraits, he kneels before the doll, embracing her from behind.
