LEVIR
A levir is a term used in Roman law to refer to either a husband's brother or a wife's brother-in-law.
1. After John's death, his wife Mary was expected to marry his levir, which was John's brother.
2. When Sarah got married, she gained a levir, which was her husband's brother.
The first example illustrates the first definition of levir, which is a husband's brother. In Roman law, it was customary for a widow to marry her deceased husband's brother to ensure that the family line continued. The second example illustrates the second definition of levir, which is a wife's brother-in-law. When a woman gets married, she gains a new family, including her husband's siblings, who become her levirs.
