Jay –
to your new entry on sororal polygyny I would add the caveat that there are a number of teachings which conclude that the “to vex her” restriction on such marriages is more specifically to do with the special case where the first wife/sister is barren, or childless.
The sister would then be prohibited to ‘vex her’ by providing the husband with heirs which she did not.
