A female reader, cat lady United States +, writes (12 January 2011):

cat lady agony auntMarriage is a very serious business, sealed with sacred vows and the only thing that helps you keep them is love between you and your wife. Your brother should not be pushing you to marry without love, only for convenience, because it is the same as telling a lie to God and the poor wife's sister too.

Perhaps your sister-in-law is having some difficulty finding a good marriage and her sister wants to do her a favor and keep her in the extended family. It's a common enough sentiment and regretfully, it's commonly done too. Just don't let elder brother talk you into marrying both of them!

aunt honesty agony auntJust explain to your brother that you love your girlfriend and that she is going to be the one you will marry tell him that your sure his wifes sister is a lovely woman but that she is not the woman you love and if he is a caring brother he will support your marriage to your girlfriend. If not just remember its your life not his.
