The Bible addresses the situation of marrying a deceased brother's wife in Deuteronomy 25:5-10, which outlines the levirate marriage practice. This law required a man to marry his deceased brother's widow to ensure the continuation of the brother's lineage. In the New Testament, Jesus refers to this practice in Matthew 22:24-30, highlighting the importance of resurrection and the nature of relationships in the afterlife, rather than providing a directive on the practice itself.

Were there any women in the Bible who were older than their husbands?
The custom in biblical times was for the woman to be younger - indeed perhaps as young as 12-14 years of age and the man more mature.

If the eldest brother married an equivalent aged woman and died, his younger brother could have been younger than his brother's wife.
