Romans 7:1-3

CLV(i) 1 Or are you ignorant, brethren (for I am speaking to those who know law), that the law is lording it over a man for as much time as he is living? 2 For a woman in wedlock is bound to a living man by law. Yet if the man should be dying, she is exempt from the law of the man." 3 Consequently, then, while the man is living, she will be styled an adulteress if she should be becoming another man's, yet, if the man should be dying, she is free from the law, being no adulteress on becoming another man's."
