I don't remember if it was law or not, but many times when one brother would die, the other would marry their widow.
Oh! Thanks. This why I wouldn't be able to live in the past
It was other than today. If a husband died Back then women could't do much to earn Money or have their own houshold. They woul'd have to bag on the street If they were kiked Out. So ist was a good thing the brother took responsibility. Can't compare from today for a rich country. In poor countrys ITS even today a responsible duty and a good thing for women
* would have to live by bagging
Don't love that he's offering Soun to the brother in case he dies.
