Dear LIB readers: Can a girl marry her late elder sister's fiance?

From a LIB reader
Can you marry your late elder sister's fiancé three years after her death? The late young lady was actually preparing for the wedding before she died in the car crash. Three years later, her younger sister marries her fiancé. and it got me asking myself plenty questions:
1) Is it too early? I mean, it's been three years.
2) Has he totally forgotten the deceased girl?
3) what if he hasn't, will the new bride bear to see him still thinking about her sister or mourning her on the anniversaries of her death and on her birthdays?
4) I wonder if the deceased girl is happy or sad about the situation? 
(You posted the story of the deceased girl when she died but please, keep it out to protect the innocent). I just feel it's unusual and I've been feeling uncomfortable about it. On the day of girl's burial, the young man actually promised never to leave their family. Little did I know this was what he meant. Sigh.

Really I don't get it when ppl want to date or sleep or marry either an ex boyfriend or an ex fiance etc, why can't they for Petes sake look elsewhere is it dt bad? Na wa o. Why will they choose to love that particular person? Love us a thing of choice and they can choose not to fall in love with that person if they have good morals. Ahan even my friends ex I no fit how much more a sibling!

This is not about the death of his sister for crying out loud! Why can't ppl look for their own, why must it be ur friends ex or sisters ex or some ex dt was close to you or your family? How can you spread those legs for the same person dt a sibling or some bosom friend already did? Na wa o!!! I can never comprehend such is it that bad?

Love can be found in the strangest and weirdest of people and places.

I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Love can be prompted by anything, it maybe that she reminds him of her. Moreover, i guess the family of his late fiancee loves him so much that they were willing to allow him marry the sister.

Linda you posted this girls story in June or July 2010 and who said it was three years, they were obviously dating before they got married so it's definitely less than three years after she died. And for the guy to say he would never leave the family poses questions like if he had an ulterior motive or something else. The bride's family should ask themselves questions and as for the bride herself I hope she's happy with her conscience and can live with it that's if she wasn't secretly envious of her elder sister. This life - evils.

I know of a girl who was having an affair with her sister's husband in their home. Her sister found out and eventually died of high bp. She went ahead and married her sister's husband with the full backing of her mother. She maltreats her late sister's kids while she and her daughter fly around the world.

She's dead and no foul play in her death. The living deserve to be happy, don't we?
