  "text": "(1) This regulation applies where the member and his wife were not married to each other during any period of pensionable employment.\n(2) Subject to paragraph (3), the widow’s pension will be equal to one–half of a pension calculated as described in regulation E1 (normal retirement pension) on the basis of the member’s pensionable service after 5th April 1978.\n(3) If the member dies after his pension under this Section of the scheme becomes payable, the widow’s pension for the first 3 months after the member’s death (6 months if the member dies leaving at least one dependent child dependent on the widow) will be equal to the amount of the pension that would have been payable under regulation G3 (member dies after pension becomes payable).\n(4) Where the scheme partner referred to in regulation G14 (surviving scheme partner’s pension) becomes the member’s widow on the member’s death, the widow’s pension will, if it would be more beneficial to the widow, be equal to the surviving scheme partner’s pension that would have been payable if the widow and the member had not been married to each other.",
