Is It Right For A Man To Marry His Sister In Law? by nnewa(op): 12:19pm On Feb 24, 2021
Hello NLanders, please help advise me on how to counsel this brother of mine who lost his wife about 2 years ago during child birth.

Now the man wants to re marry and is considering his late wife's sister. (Whether out of true desire, wish that the sister can take better care of her late sisters baby or another reason) it's worthy to note also that the lady in question is also advancing in age and likely to settle with any available man.

Please is it morally, culturally or religiously permitted to do so, he has been asking me

There is nothing wrong in that. Haven't you seen a man marrying twin sisters?

If their tradition permits it,nothing wrong.

Noting wrong in dat.. Bt his in-laws must endorse it first.

As long as they did not have an affair while his wife was alive.
Re: Is It Right For A Man To Marry His Sister In Law? by Nobody: 1:41pm On Feb 24, 2021
It is even good to do so. He would have known her character for long, and she will take better care of her nephews and nieces than a complete stranger.

And maybe the family should give him discount on bride price, seeing as he's a long time customer.

If the man's in-laws have no problem with marrying another daughter to the same man, then all is well.
Re: Is It Right For A Man To Marry His Sister In Law? by ezugegere(m): 2:59pm On Feb 24, 2021
I wouldn't do that but if his in-laws are fine with it, good.

He is not the first and won't be the last to attempt it.

Death brings about a Termination of Marriage. Thus, they are no more "related" therefore being an Exception to the Law of Degrees of Affinity! And other lawful grounds

But for further Rightness sakes the permission and consent of the Principal members of her family should also be sought and obtained.

It is totally wrong for him to marry his wifes sister, it is an abomination. The man deserves a sound slapp to bring him back to reality. He is wicked and has betrayed his wife.

If the lady and her family are OK with the arrangement, then it's no problem. It happens a lot.
As long as they didn't betray the late woman while she was alive...

The ceremony should be low key though...

It's not right because he'll give people the impression that they've been dating even when the wife was still alive. some may even think she killed her sister.

Can't your brother get another woman outside the wifes'family? And the lady, can't can't she look elsewhere for a husband?. I wonder how comfortable she'll feel sleeping with a man that has slept with her sister. Some people mumu Sha.

He shudnt try it. This is Nigeria. He and the lady would be accused of killing his wife.

Well, it depends.

If he has been sleeping with his wife's sister when his wife was still alive, then I won't advice him to marry her because there will be no spark or excitement during sex again.

But if he has always fantasized about shagging her and never got to, then marrying her is his only legitimate way to bring his fantasies to reality.

Although it is the dream of every ambitious man to shag either his wife's sister, mother or friend, his best bet is to marry a new woman entirely while still retaining his wife's sister to genuinely cater to his kids as her own while still shagging her on the side in the guise of helping her bear her own kids before menopause arrives.
