True. The act of "taking a second husband after the first husband dies" is not a sin and is not adultery.

Taking a second husband is not adultery. But according to Christian belief, if the woman then (for example) looks at another man and thinks to herself "boy, is he ever good looking", then the woman is guilty of adultery. No doubt all married men and women have such thoughts (I certainly do), so all married people are guilty of adultery.
I suspect that most and probably all married people commit adultery before their wedding day is over.
