Nope, it's not a spelling mistake -of course I'm not sure it's actually a word but I couldn't resist! There is news this morning of a woman's unsuccessful bid to have the conditions of her mother's will revoked. She would be denied the inheritance unless/until she divorced her husband. If she doesn't, the deceased's request is that the money be given to the Catholic Church instead. Mrs Galway's application was denied - and the money ($140,000) will be held in trust until she dies or she becomes a widow or divorcee. So why did Mary Knight impose such a condition? Was it really a case of the mother-in law reaching from beyond the grave* to punish her husband's daughter (as suggested in The Daily Telegraph) or a mother's attempt to help her daughter leave a relationship of which she may not have approved?
* When they say "beyond the grave" what exactly does it mean?
