[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i wonder if June can stay in a house with a widowed man. Seems to me that’s a no. If kids cannot stay with a widowed woman then a single man and a handmaid in his house would be very improper[/quote]

I thought the same things.[/quote]

I feel like not enough time will go by for it to be an issue/he might just get another wife? [/quote]

I don’t think that he would marry again if he could avoid it. Eleanor was clearly the only woman he would ever freely choose to be with. No telling what he might be forced to do, though. I wonder if handmaids can be elevated in status to commander’s wife? I would assume no, since Nick didn’t jump on the opportunity when he was promoted, but he wasn’t as senior as Lawrence. [/quote]

June is technically married. I doubt they'd marry a handmaiden to a commander.  [/quote]

Technically married outside of Gilead. I doubt they would allow a handmaid to marry as well, since they are considered fallen women and not wife material, but wonder how much pull different commanders could have to break that rule, given that few of them actually care about the doctrine if it doesn’t serve their purposes. It seemed like Winslow, for example, was powerful enough to change the rules rather than just follow them.[/quote]

The commander make the rules. They clearly don't follow them and rules don't apply to them.[/quote]
