No. You are married till death parts you. If death parted you, you are free to remarry.

no, it isn't. most marriages are performed as a legal contract between two people and is only dissolved upon a complete divorce or death. This is religious and secular. some religions believe in "eternal" marriage, even in those cases, the widow an usually remarry for time on earth only.

No. As long as the person you are marrying is unmarried or a widower.
Of course, if you believe the bible and you don't have children you should ask the brother of your dead husband to attempt to impregnate you.
This was the duty that Onan refused to perform. When he withdrew rather than ejaculate into his brother's widow it was a sin. The spilling of his seed has been confused with masturbation but it was nothing of the sort.

No,not in any mainstrean Christian group that i know of( the Montanists banned remarriage after spouse'sdeath in the 3rd Cent AD or so). Some Hindu groups prohibit woman who are widowed from remarring but not widowed men,but most permit remarriage ,i think. In the bad old days some Hindu groups practiced "widow burning"(sutee) but that is contrary to the Hindu principal of ahimsa ,harmlessness to living beings and non violence.

No, it's not a sin.
1 Timothy 5:14
"So I council younger widows to marry, to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander."

No, it isnt. The Bible states that widows should remarry, particuarly if they are young, unless they wish to be like Nuns. God Bless.

Not according to the bible.
"By law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man." (Ro.7:2,3)

Certainly not. The marriage vows clearly state "until death do us part". When one of the spouses dies, the marriage is ended, and the surviving spouse is single and free to marry.

no, these same passages applies to men as well:
The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. - 1 Corinthians 7:39.
For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. - Romans 7:2,3.
