She married Eliott Handler
He was second of kin to her.
Yes. Obviously Ruth had to marry someone to have a mother-in-law.
No. Ruth lay at the FEET of her future husband, fully clothed. In her society and time, that was a way for a woman to show that she was willing to marry an available man. There was absolutely no nakedness involved before they were married. Ruth's father is not mentioned in the book of Ruth, and the Song of Solomon is about another woman and man, it is not about Ruth.
To redeem the land and marry Ruth, Boaz needs to follow the custom of levirate marriage by purchasing the land from a relative and marrying Ruth to continue the family line. This process involves publicly declaring his intention in front of witnesses and finalizing the transaction according to the laws of the time.
