    1. Does that mean if your wife dies and you divorce her, that's the same thing? the circumstances are different even if the outcome is similar in some respects.

      1. Indeed, this would have been better formatted as two separate requests instead of one. But both unnecessary in my opinion. I wouldn't use any of those three^^ to refer to widowhood. I'd go with the direct route: Heghpu' X-nalDaj.
