Levirate Marriage/es
This is the temporary layout for topic pages. For now this will just be a short description followed by a list of relevant verses. Later on, the verses will be organized into a comprehensive explanation of the topic.
Levirate marriage describes an instance where a married man dies childless, and his widow, desiring children in her deceased husband's name, has the right to call on his nearest male relative (but not his father) to marry her and produce offspring with her. The brother who marries the widow is called a Kinsman Redeemer. The offspring in a levirate marriage receives name and inheritance from the deceased man, rather than from the kinsman redeemer. This topic will cover the laws relevant to an understanding of Levirate Marriage.
