The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 87

A. Bach, Esq

A. Bach, Esq.

"Are marriages of this description considered in Germany to be all contra bonos mores?" "Not at all. So far from their being considered contra bonos mores, the feeling of the people of Germany is undoubtedly in favour of such marriages." "It frequently happens that a widower marries his deceased wife's sister out of a pious and affectionate feeling for his departed wife. And the feelings of the women of Germany are so strong in favour of such marriages, that it often occurs that the last parting request by a wife on her death-bed to her husband is, to marry her sister in case he should feel inclined to marry again."—Evidence of A. Bach, Esq.
