Original Note:
This claim is largely inaccurate. "Gallow weddings" are not a recognized historical practice. While marriage sometimes influenced outcomes, there is no evidence allowing death sentence pardons through marriage offers. The example from "Notre-Dame de Paris" is fictional. https://www.thoughtco.com/weddings-and-hygiene-1788715 https://www.medievalists.net/2011/05/gallows-in-late-medieval-frisia/
