**Chapter 198**
**Somasen Bhattaraka's Composition**
A woman who is diseased, barren, insane, or has ceased to menstruate, even if she is of good character, is to be abandoned for the sake of enjoyment, but not for the sake of Dharma.
**Meaning:** One should not engage in sexual relations with such women, but there is no harm in performing religious duties with them.
**Chapter 199**
A husband should not abandon his wife who is beautiful, fertile, fortunate, dear to him, and a companion in religious duties.
**Chapter 200**
When a man wishes to remarry after the death of his wife, it is considered auspicious to do so in an odd year, counting from the year of her death. Marriage in an even year is considered inauspicious.
**Alternative Opinion:**
**Chapter 201**
A man should remarry in the first year after the death of his wife. If he cannot do so in the first year, he should remarry in the second year. However, marriage in an odd month is considered auspicious, as stated by the sages like Gautama.
**Chapter 202**
If a wife dies without bearing a son, it is considered auspicious for her husband to remarry in an even year or an even month.
**Chapter 203**
If a wife who has borne children dies, a Brahmin or a Vaishya should not remarry in the first year. Remarriage in the first year after the death of a wife is considered inauspicious for them.
**Chapter 204**
**Third Marriage**
If a man marries a third wife without performing the "Arka Vivah" (a ritual performed before marrying a third wife), the third wife will become a widow and her daughter will be considered a widow. Therefore, one should be wise in such matters.
