पर्याय

उत्तर
Sororate
Explanation:
In Sororate, a man can wed his wife's sister following her passing. In contrast, marriage in hypergamy and hypogamy is predicated on the idea of marrying up or down in terms of social status or wealth, and in the practice of levirate, a man is obligated to wed his deceased brother's widow.
