My biggest problem with this is the whole he shall pay a fine of one shoe thing. What a crock! Who came up with that, the town cobbler? You take one shoe, you really might as well just take both. The only positive thing that might come out of it is if the guy ever refuses a second time to marry a widow, he's got a ready-made payment for the ensuing fine.
And under who's authority does this all take place? The village? So the village has a pile of single, unmatched shoes? There's one heckuva useful resource for you...
