Excerpt from Hindu Widow Re-Marriage Other Tracts Early marriage of girls would be greatly checked by the free introduction of widow re-marriage. As the state of the Hindu society now exists virgins are available both for bachelors and widow ers. The latter naturally and generally desire to unite themselves with grown up girls. Few parents like to give the hands of their girls to widowers. They, therefore, naturally desire to secure bachelor matches as early as possible to obviate the emergency of having re course to widower matches; and thus the early marriage is encouraged. It would also be a very salutary and equit able rule of practice if widowers were never to marry a maiden but always a widow. It will, perhaps, be better to notice here that some of the opponents(5 11 7, of the widow marriage may object that widowers should not 'marry at all. I must answer'at once to this objection that in this world it is impossible for widowers generally not to re marry.
