Senate moves second reading on bill to allow marriage to deceased husband's brother
Ottawa April 14 Second reading of a Senate bill to legalize a widow marrying her deceased husband's brother or that brother's son was moved in the House by A R McMaster Liberal Brome. McMaster noted the bill faced little Senate opposition and that current law allowed a man to wed his deceased wife's sister but not a woman to wed her deceased husband's brother, a disparity spanning four decades. The measure also seeks to remove remaining barriers through further debate.
