Widowhood
The state in which women have lost their husband, which requires them to wear widow's clothing, associated with disgrace
ExamplesGenesis 38:14 So she removed her widow’s garments and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gateway of Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she had not been given to him as a wife.
Genesis 38:19 Then she got up and departed, and removed her veil and put on her widow’s garments.
2 Samuel 20:3 Then David came to his house in Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left behind to take care of the house, and put them in custody and provided them with food, but did not have relations with them. So they were locked up until the day of their death, living as widows.
