Wasn't a brother supposed to take care, even marry, the widow of his

In the Old Testament, yes. Not all that long ago in the UK, it was
against the law to marry your deceased spouse's sibling.


How long ago was that? My grandfather's first wife died and he married
her sister - that was in 1929.

The same for me ca 1935, in Brittany.
