The traditional wedding vows include “till death do us part”

It’s accepted that a traditional marriage ends at death, and a widow is able to remarry.

This also comes from a time when Women seldom worked and would be responsible for the household and the kids. So remarrying was a chance to get a new husband and primary source of income.

Where-as a man is able to re-marry and have more kids.
