"Is the marriage of a widower with his late wife's sister within the 'prohibited degrees?' in all frankness and honesty I am bound to answer—No. It is interdicted neither by express veto, nor yet by implication. Canonical austerity is not to be identified with moral purity or matrimonial fidelity."—Rev. Dr. Eadie, Professor of Biblical Literature to the United Presbyterian Church, Scotland.
