According to our obligations if such a relationship is within honorable bounds then there is no issue. A mason who exploits her would be committing a masonic offense. It would be a matter of intent.

It would be no different than if a young mason dated the daughter of an older brother mason who took no issue with the coupling. Again I think the crux would be the intent to exploit (i.e. a mason committing adultery with a brother mason's wife).

I can think of no better person to be my widow's companion than a trusted brother.

My wife is the granddaughter of a brother mason. We were married before I was initiated. I hope it comforts him that his brother is taking care of his granddaughter.

There's an important word in my obligation that describes whether an action is appropriate or not. A different word is used jurisdiction to jurisdiction but the word used always means that. "Dating" suggests voluntary on both sides and thus appropriate.

If the mason was dating a widow of a mason whom he never met i dont see why not.

But if its a widow of a mason he sat in lodge with, well thats just disrespectful. But to each his own.

If it was me and i knew it to be his wife at the time i would feel like i was disrespecting him.

If its a woman whom i never met nor known her husband to have been a mason i see it as "i had no idea"

Same thing as dating a dead friends ex wife. It just dont sit right.

Hope that helps!

Im happily married so i hopefully will never be in that situation.

No violation of our Master Mason obligation, as long as both parties are currently unattached. They're human beings, as well as consenting adults, so I say whatever works for them. As for those who may be a bit upset that their dead brother Mason's widow is seeing another brother Mason, that is something for those brothers to deal with, and hopefully they will.
