Matrimonio di Levirate
From Theonomy Wiki
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.
