"Marriage with a Deceased Wife's Sister" by Mayow Wynell Mayow is a late 19th-century exploration of a contentious social topic, viewing marriage to a deceased wife's sister as a debate with religious and ethical implications. The author takes a stand against allowing marriage with a deceased wife's sister, using specific verses from Leviticus to defend a position rooted in traditional Christian teachings. The book examines biblical texts, arguing intended legal reforms contradict moral law. Mayow analyzes opposing interpretations of scripture, claiming that they distort religion. He presents the troubling consequences of changing current marriage laws, emphasizing the need to maintain firmly held religious norms.
