Simple Definition

The unborn-widow rule is a legal concept that applies to the rule against perpetuities. It assumes that a beneficiary's future wife is not yet born at the time of the testator's death. This means that any life estate given to the future wife would void any remainders because the interest would not vest within the perpetuities period.
