A variation on this question is:  "Is it legal for a man to
be married to his widow's sister?"  The answer is YES.

Here is how:
		1)  Man marries woman A.
		2)  Man and woman A are divorced.
		3)  Man marries woman B, who is woman A's sister.
		4)  Man dies.

Since woman A is woman B's sister, and Man was married to woman A,
AT ONE TIME, HE WAS MARRIED TO HIS WIDOW'S SISTER (A).

Now don't you feel elevated?
