Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin’s assassin has secretly married by proxy, his bride said on Friday. Larisa Trimbobler said she hoped her in-absentia wedding to Yigal Amir last month would help overturn a court ban on conjugal visits for the ultra-nationalist who shot Rabin in 1995 in a bid to block peace deals with the Palestinians.

According to Israeli media, Amir empowered his father to carry out the ritual in his stead and may have joined in by telephone.

‘‘There is no sin here, no crime. We await word from the courts on consummation,’’ said Trimbobler, her hair covered in accordance with religious tradition for married Jewish women. Israeli authorities voiced surprise at the report. —(Reuters)
