8.(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, the widower of a woman who
dies after the commencement of this Act shall be entitled to receive a pension
under this section if, at the time of her death,

(a)he was incapable by reason of age or bodily or mental infirmity of earning
his own living and was wholly or mainly dependent on her; and

(b)the condition set out in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of section 7(1) was
satisfied in her case.

(2) The annual amount of a widower's pension under this section shall be the
same as that of a widow's pension, and section 7(2) shall apply accordingly
with the necessary modifications.

(3) A pension under this section shall continue for the life of the widower,
but may be terminated by direction of the Trustees in the event of his
remarriage or of his ceasing to be incapable as aforesaid.

(4) A pension terminated under subsection (3) may be restored by direction of
the Trustees if at any time the marriage upon which it was terminated comes to
an end or the pensioner again becomes incapable as aforesaid, or if the
Trustees are satisfied that for exceptional reasons it is proper to restore
the pension.

(5) Section 7(6) shall apply for the purposes of this section as if for
references to a man, a widow's pension and a woman there were substituted
references to a woman, a widower's pension and a man.
