That is why I want the younger widows to get married, have children, and take good care of their own families. Then the enemy will have nothing to say against them.
Do not include the younger widows for this kind of care. For when their natural human desires draw them away from their devotion to the Chosen One, they will want to get married.
But if you do marry, you have not done wrong. If a young maiden marries, she has done nothing wrong. But those who marry will find it hard to face troubled times in this world, and I want to keep you from those things.
A wife is bound by the law of marriage to her husband as long as he lives. If her husband dies, she is then free to marry whomever she desires, but only to one who belongs to our Honored Chief.
Now in the case of a man who has been promised in marriage to a young maiden, and his desire for her is becoming strong: if he wants to marry her and is no longer able to wait, and she is of age, then it is not wrong for them to marry.
