Tradition’s Stance On Widows And Widowers

Our tradition usually frowns upon women who move on too fast after being widowed compared to men. Usually, someone is given a year to be in bereavement when their partner dies.

After this period, the widow is then traditionally cleansed and given the go-ahead to find a new companion. While some men take less time to grieve and society stands with them, women get the short end of the stick and are faced with ridicule.
