When one of the uterine brothers has sons, all the Second Kanda f - 237 brothers should be deemed to have children as far as the problem of Shraddha is concerned. Likewise if one of them alone is married, that wife represents the position of a wife for all of them for the purpose of the Shraddha. Her own sons, brothers and father are excepted. If a woman whose husband is alive and who has no sons or dies, or if a widow dies, the function of uniting her with the dead ancestors is performed soon after Sapindikarana. This is the view of some. According to others, it should be performed on the first death anniversary.
