Is it legal in Australia for a man to marry his widows sister?

So far, I believe it's still illegal for anyone to marry a dead person no matter who they are or where they live. But it's 2012 so that may change if people want it too badly enough; perhaps if the family of the deceased can prove that the deceased person would have agreed to the union if they had been alive. This is a crazy world you know. People have wed outside their own species already, so it's not that far a stretch to imagine it.

Is it legal in California for a man to marry his widow's sister?

Normally it's not possible because he has to be dead to have a widow.It might be possible to be declared legally dead, which would result in a legal divorce and inheritance. So then technically anyone who later turned up actually alive might have to remarry his spouse, assuming she had not married someone else already. In that case, he might marry his wife's sister, but his first wife would be his ex-wife, not his widow.Perhaps you are asking whether it is legal for a man (a widower) to marry the sister of his late wife? If that's the case it is perfectly legal for him to marry the lady. She is no blood relation of his and the fact he was married to her sister, now deceased, has no bearing on their legal union in most Western cultures and all US states including California.


How can it be that a man married the sister of his widow?

He must have married (and divorced) her BEFORE he married the woman to whom he was married when he died. Once he has a widow, he can't marry anybody else - he is dead.

Can a man marry his widows half-sister?

No reason why not - they are only related by him previously being married to her sister - they are not blood-related. Except that if the woman is his widow then the guy is dead already and unable to marry anyone. If you meant his late wife's half sister then yes he may legally marry her, provided she wants to marry him of course.
