-- Samson (Judges 14:1-3)

12. Kill any husband and take HIS wife. (Prepare to lose four sons though).
-- David (2 Samuel 11)

13. Wait for your brother to die. Take his widow. (It's not just a good idea, it's the law).

The prescription for female hysteria was usually a good spot of doctor administered vaginal massage until the woman achieved "hysterical paroxysm."
