In an editorial in the Dispatch Sunday,
July 10. 1883 under the heading. THE
Wife's Sister" it is said the Virginia laws
do not forbid man wedding his deceased
wifes sister.

ed by Acts 1886, reads: "No man shall
marry his mother grandmother step
mother, sister, &C., &C." Section 2226 Of
Code of 1887 reads In the cases men
toned in the two preceding sections. in
which the relationship is founded on a
marriage, the prohibition shall continue
In force, Notwithstanding the dissolution
of such marriage by death or divorce, I'M

We see no inconsistency in the statute
you quote, and the theory that man
marrying a woman takes her relations
as his own. &C." Is an English view
rather than an American. Moreover, we
generally follow blindly the views Of the
late John B. Minor. and on this subject he
says: "In Virginia the restrictions upon
the marriage OF persons connected by af-
ln.ty have been much relaxed-it would
seem beyond what a wise policy can COM
mend. Thus marriage Is allowed with the
