Well if you are going to follow 2000 year old rules on dating then yes, I am sure in a desert tribal culture it would be normal for one man to take on anothers wife. After all women couldn't work or support themselves back then.
But just make sure you marry her before you touch her, and that she doesn't wear polyester and leaves town whenever she has her period. Oh and no picking up sticks on a Sunday.
Good Luck!! xx

Marrying a cousin's widow must be perfectly alright. It was actually commanded in Moses' law that younger brother should marry his brother's wife if the elder one passes away without children.

I hope he hasn't passed away recently, because if the first thing you think of is sleeping with his widow you have bigger problems.
