Book excerpt: Excerpt from Review of Several Late Publications on Marriage With a Deceased Wife's Sister: Condemning This Proposed Innovation on Our Religious Institutions If, after all, it be said, that an injunction to a man to marry his brother's widow renders it at least allowable for a woman to marry her late sister's husband, it may be replied, firstly, that the argument itself admits that a permission, and if a permission then a prohibition, may be transferred from one sex to the 0ther - the very ground on which we contend that a prohibition to a woman to marry her husband's brother included a prohib itien to a man to marry his wife's sister; and secondly, that, if this injunction be binding on us, and be not, as we contend, a. Local and national law applicable to the case of the Jews at that time, and to them only, then it must be taken with all its adjuncts also, and it is good for him, and for him alone, who marries his brother's widow, there being no child of such first marriage. We proceed, then, to consider not what in the judgment of any individual may be the Scriptural view of the particular case, but what is the interpretation of Scripture, which, for at least fifteen centuries, has been recognized and affirmed by the Church.
