Parable of the Ten Virgins taught by Christ himself (Matt 25:1-13). Bridegroom and ten virgins. Accepted as perfectly normal.

Which if I am not mistaken this one does. :)

Also it is really hard to change wiki articles to something false especially now with the new posting rules. The reason academia reject it so is that it is to convenient (zero research work goes into getting info from wiki) and often is very bias, thus you should reference the cited material to make sure it is not skewed.

When I was at school we did a research paper on the reliability of wiki ... it was pretty good, and from what I can tell a lot better now. (although just as liberal)

But alas this is off topic. I found this discussion very insightful.

Romans 7:2 (New American Standard Bible)

2For (A)the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.
