What do you mean “will be”? They’ve explicitly encouraged having large families for centuries, and implicitly encouraged having kids outside a family too, by forbidding birth control and abortion.
Yes but on the surface at least they also insist on monogamy or at the very least serial monogamy. Free love is typically more of a polyamorous movement.
Similar to the “Uriah Method.”
Send him to the front line of a battle, feign sadness upon his untimely (yet highly anticipated) death, then steal his wife.
I actually know of one guy from an extremely religious family that married his brother’s wife when his brother died. I always wondered if it was true love or duty.
That I am less upset about. Kids were a net profit in that time period. For a woman passed the point where she can just get married, with presumably her dowry being depleted, having a kid with the brother meant that she would have a hand in the whole not starving thing.
I won’t judge people that poor for making hard decisions. Just be glad that no one reading this lives in a world like that.

Mostly, yeah.
Although, the Bible does say that if your brother dies and didn’t make any babies with his wife, it’s your job now. https://www.esv.org/Genesis+38:8;Deuteronomy+25:5;Matthew+22:24;Mark+12:19;Luke+20:28/
When your brother married a hottie so you “accidentally” spill cyanide in his tea.
