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.
