They would stay till one of them passed away; however, the other person would stay widow until his/her times come up to leave this world and to go catch up their love in heaven . Back then, people got married because their parents planned everything; they choose who would marry their son. They did this mainly because of the benefits they could get between both of the families and to be specific; it was just for money.
