# O.C.G.A. § 44-6-68. Validity of limitations over upon marriage of widow.

Limitations over upon the marriage of a widow shall be valid unless such limitations are manifestly intended to operate as a restraint upon the free action of such widow in respect to marriage and are not simply prudent provisions for the protection of the interest of children or others in such event, in which case such limitations are void.
