Abstract:
African scholars have found themselves in a theo-doctrinal embargo, especially after the 19 th and 20 th century European missionary explosion, that ushered a vibrant protestant Christianity in East Africa that was largely dismissive of cultural dialogues with Christianity. One of the most contested subject, that went beyond the missionary era, and reverberates across the twenty-first century, is the levirate marriage (hereafter, levirate marriage). Outside the missionary armpits, African scholars have continued to debate its efficacy to the christian teachings. In view of this, the theo-doctr

AbstractThe article examines the approach of leading rabbis toward levirate marriages following the establishment of the State of Israel. Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi Herzog supported the abolishment of levirate marriages and attempted to impose on all ethnic communities the Ashkenazi approach, which since the 13th century favoredchalitza. Chief Sephardic Rabbi Uziel supported rabbi Herzog although the levirate commandment takes precedence overchalitzain the Sephardic and oriental traditions and is practiced in these communities.

Abstract:
The levirate marriage has been continued for thousands of years in the ancient time of China until after the People's Republic when it died out. In Yuan Dynasty, the levirate marriage was gradually ascended to state law from national habits; its position was so important that it was considered as the customs of the country, later it gradually moved towards collapse. The variation of laws as well as regulations for the levirate marriage reflect the process of which the two cultures of the Mongolian people and Han people blended continuously.

Abstract The halakhah observed by the Beta Israel community is decisive and extremely detailed.

This article the examines Beta Israel practice regarding the levirate marriage (yibum), including its rationale and sources. Beta Israel refrained from performing levirate marriage.

Abstract:
This paper utilizes historical-critical analysis to elucidate the ancient institution of levirate marriage, a type of marital union attested in Assyria, Ugarit, Hatti, ancient Israel, and beyond. It investigates the socio-cultural logic underlying levirate practices as well as their ramifications upon communal dynamics. Through examination of biblical episodes concerning Judah and Tamar along with Boaz and Ruth, two illuminating case studies emerge that reveal the complex interplay of kinship ties, lineage preservation, inheritance rights, and evolving cultural mores governing this marital cus

AbstractWhat happened to biblical law when transferred into late antique Christianity? How can answering this question provide a paradigm that helps us understand the rise and development of late antique Christian legal traditions? In the first centuries of the Common Era, the Christian legal tradition began to evolve in Roman, Greek, rabbinic, and biblical contexts. Focusing on the biblical institution of levirate marriage, this article offers a paradigm that elucidates how Christians might have adopted, adapted, and sometimes rejected their legal heritage; it may illuminate the overall devel

Abstract:
The practice of levirate marriage describes cases where, under the customary conception of marriage, a male relative of the deceased husband ‘inherits’ or ‘takes over’ his widow. Based on the concept of legal pluralism, the paper analyses different notions of marriage in customary law and statutory law. Within this legal framework the collective character of marriage under customary law and the assumption that the alliance entered by two kin groups is not dissolved by the death of one spouse function as central preliminaries for the levirate marriage.

The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate that Matthew included the name of Uriah (Matt 1:6) in the genealogy (Matt 1:2-17) in order to legitimise granting a fully-fledged Jewish identity to Gentile converts in his own day. Rather than the unnamed Bathsheba, it suggests the four named Old Testament outsiders in the Matthean genealogy, namely, Tamar (Matt 1:3), Rahab (Matt 1:5), Ruth (Matt 1:5) and Uriah (Matt 1:6), with respect to having a “better righteousness”, intermarriage and levirate marriage and argues that this approach brings clearer insight to the social setting of the Matthean co

Various factors considered to be contributory to the acculturation of traditional Africans are discussed. Throughout this study, traditionalists oppose westernised Africans because of strange norms and practices they have adopted.

The husband was tacitly allowed to have sex with other women in various circumstances, and the wife was allowed to have sex with another man in one particular circumstance: the levirate or niyoga(literally the “appointment” of the woman to be impregnated by a man who is not her legal husband).
