Talk:Deceased Wife's Sister's Marriage Act 1907

7ou have an error in this article. The mention of the Marriage Act (Scotland) of 1567 in relation to incest is incorrect. The Incest Act of 1567 (#14 in Table of Contents) covered forbidden sexual intercourse as described in Leviticus chap 18. This bible chapter does not mention marrying your sister-in-law after your wife is dead; only while your wife is alive.


 * 1) 15 is the marriage act

Statistics
Are there any statistics of how many marriages with spouse's sibling/sibling's spouse there are? (Given that there may have been some under-representation during the period when such marriages were illegal.) Jackiespeel (talk) 18:19, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
