| Leviticus 18:16 | Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: because it is the nakedness of thy brother. | Brother; though she may be even divorced from him. (St. Augustine, q. 61.) If the brother were dead without offspring, the next relation was bound to marry her; (Deuteronomy 25:5) and the kinsman of Booz was accounted infamous for neglecting this duty, Ruth 4:6. |
