In the old old days brothers were known to marry a wife of dead brother to take care of the family.

These days..it’s kind of weird.

If he’s got a wife and three kids, it’s beyond weird. Were way past Levirate Marriage here. The boy is a freak.

“In the old old days brothers were known to marry a wife of dead brother to take care of the family.”

It’s Biblical: Levirite marriage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levirate_marriage
