Japanese Man Marries Video Game Girlfriend

Many prior postings have covered the debate surrounding same-sex marriage.  Taking the non-traditional to the next level, a Japanese man reportedly married a video game character from a Nintendo video game.  While the wedding ceremony included a priest and a photo montage from the couple’s “courtship,” it is not completely clear whether the marriage is actually legally valid.  

I wonder if he later erases his wife’s data whether he could be charged with murder.
