Are you going to accept the money?

There's a woman who became a wealthy man's other woman after he broke up with his first wife. The family (especially the mother) was very opposed to the idea because the other woman fell short of the qualities they wanted for the man - education and upbringing. Later, the man decided to leave the family and the wealth for the other woman while the original wife moved on with her life and went abroad.
In the course of their lives as couples, they tried to live within the means, the man being able to find a job with a meager income. They were happy and loved each other. Unfortunately, the man met an accident and was killed. He was stabbed to death.
With nothing to spend, and not knowing what to do, the mother suddenly appeared and wanted to get her son's dead body which the other woman opposed to. In desperation, the mother offered money so she could get the body and give her son a decent burial.
Are you going to accept the money, if you are in the situation?

A very odd situation we have here. Well, I look at it this way. I figure both women have the right. The mother and the mans love. I know the money sods tempting, but money is to what it's all about. They should come to some sort of agreement that would be suitable for both of them. It is not an easy situation.

I really don't know how to respond to this because I honestly would just let the woman take her son's body. I think that it is wrong to say "no" to letting a mother take her son's body.
You can always get money by other means.

I'd try and go for a compromise, and allow the mother to pay for the burial as long as I was involved in the arrangements.

Dear Ms. Bingskee
Merry Christmas! (Belated so what)
First, I will not be the "other" woman in any one's life (if et all I could be
). So that definitely rules out any such happening with me...
But for the discussions sake, if I was that other woman, I would have asked the lady(mother) to pay me my preferred amount and I would not have agreed with what she offered. I can say this because I think and feel somewhere, that this "other" woman in the discussion is greedy for money.
If the discussion didnt have a mention of There's a woman who became a wealthy man's other woman - in that case, I would have been me - No money as there are plenty of other ways to make money than to make a few on a corpse.

hey, belated happy holidays to you and to your wife!
she is not greedy for money. the couple went away to live their own simple and poor life. they had never asked help from the kins of her partner. they are happy with each other.
for practical reasons, she has to accept the money.

I think I would accept the money. Accepting the money would not be a reason for the MIL to judge me about my real feelings with my deceased 'husband'. It would just be practical on my part to have some money to start my life anew without him. Aside from that, my 'husband' would be given a decent burial. If it's possible I would ask his mom to at least give me a chance to visit his grave whenever I want to.

we can never tell if the MIL would not think ill against her. there is bigger possibility that accepting the money will strengthen the MIL's belief that she is only after money. if she has the guts to accept these possibilities, then she has to accept the money.

If I were the other woman, I could not think of any reason why I would refuse the mother to give his son a proper burial. There's nothing wrong with it. Since I can't think of anything that would make me refuse the mother, I will willingly give his son back to her and join the burial ceremony. Very simple.
Well... if I were to choose about being payed... It's not wise to accept it, because the mother will think lowly of the me as the other woman.

I feel the lady will not accept the money from her MIL. If money was so important to her she would not have lived a contented life with her man during there difficult days.There Happy days are examples of there blissful life.
Now , If I was in the situation I would not accept the money. For me decent burial for my husband will be only if I do it otherwise his soul will not rest in peace.
