original passage: While Franklin was in London, his trip was extended, and there were problems with Sir William's promises of support. Perhaps because of the circumstances of this delay, Deborah married a man named John Rodgers. This proved to be a regrettable decision. Rodgers shortly avoided his debts and prosecution by fleeing to Barbados with her dowry, leaving her behind. Rodgers's fate was unknown, and because of bigamy laws, Deborah was not free to remarry.
original sentence: Rodgers's fate was unknown, and because of bigamy laws, Deborah was not free to remarry.
sentence2: Even though it is safe to assume that John Rodgers was never the kind of man who would buy life insurance, if he actually had such a policy, would his wife have been unable to claim the death benefit in this scenario?
sentence1: While Franklin was in London, his trip was extended, and there were problems with Sir William's promises of support. Perhaps because of the circumstances of this delay, Deborah married a man named John Rodgers. This proved to be a regrettable decision. Rodgers shortly avoided his debts and prosecution by fleeing to Barbados with her dowry, leaving her behind. Rodgers's fate was technically unknown, but bankruptcy courts ruled that he was presumed dead, freeing Deborah to remarry without violating bigamy laws.
