our religion says to get a widow married ASAP to a suitable noble man. her parents and susral ia acting like jahil people or old hindu people.... these are all jahalat ki rasams practiced sadly by few illetrate muslims of subcontinent :(
I know it must be hard for you to understand, you feel for her situation and all. But if I was the guy that died I honestly wouldn't want my wife to remarry - I know that comes across as selfish etc.. but I alhumdulillah am a muslim and know there is life after death and inshallah I would want my wife to be mine in jannah (inshallah) hence I wouldn't want her to get married.
I donno how many of you men agree.. I alhumdulillah love my fiance dearly and inshallah want to spend the rest of eternity with her (ameen)
whether you want it or not, who's coming in to check after you're dead
