    How does “she gets a month to mourn and then you get married” equate to “pussy without any responsibilities”?

      Shut the fuck up, why are you ignoring the rest of the context for that? Forced war brides and rape are fine if you give them a grieving period??

        Well if it’s context you want, back in those days - and let me stress before you jump to another incorrect conclusion that I don’t agree with this - women were possessions, not the independent equals they are today. Before marriage they belonged to their fathers, and after marriage they belonged to their husbands, and in both cases she was provided for by her owner. An “unowned” woman was in a horrible position, with no provider and no ability to provide for herself, there was little option but to become a slave or a prostitute.

        If her husband was killed in war then being taken on as a wife by someone else was in her better interests. And if you want to call the resulting sex rape that’s up to you, but in effect you’re calling all marital sex back then rape (because war bride or otherwise, she had no say in the matter), so it kind of loses its meaning.
