Isn’t it a biblical tradition for the man to marry his brother’s widow?

There is debate over that.
Most side on “take the brother’s widow into your home and treat her as family”. Primarily, this means there would be no dowry expectations.

Only if he died without heirs; and that to preserve his inheritance/family line.

Leverite marrage. Mosaic law. If the widow has no children her brother in law may assist her in producing issue on behalf of the later brother or the widow would have no support in her old age.
