==Islam== [[Sharia|Islamic law]] (''sharia'') clearly lays down rules for marriage, including [[Islamic marital jurisprudence#Who may be married.3F|who may marry whom]], and although the [[Quran]] does not prohibit a man from marrying his brother's widow, it does insist that if it were to be done, it should be treated as a normal marriage with the wife's consent and a ''[[mahr]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://irebd.com/quran/english/surah-4/verse-19/|title=Loading...|website=irebd.com}}</ref> {{Blockquote|O you who have believed, it is not lawful for you to inherit women by compulsion. And do not make difficulties for them in order to take [back] part of what you gave them unless they commit a clear immorality. And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them β perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good.|al-Nisa 4:19, Sahih International translation<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://quran.com/an-nisa/19|title=Surah An-Nisa - 19|website=Quran.com}}</ref>}}
