"This chapter deals with two conceptually distinct, yet related legal issues concerning widows. The first of these is widow remarriage; the second is niyoga, which is the Sanskrit term for the specific version of levirate practiced in classical India. The reason that these two issues jointly comprise the focus of a single chapter of this book is that, despite the effort of the Hindu legal tradition to dissociate them, they are closely related.

By contrast, the Dharmaâs¯astra tradition widely opposed the practice of widow remarriage from its inception and support for widow remarriage always constituted a minority position"-- Provided by publisher.
