Redeemer of Ruth

What is the role of a “kinsman redeemer”, as mention in the book of Ruth?

Answer:

The redeemer was due to take over the estate of the deceased husband of Ruth, and to marry her in a “levirate marriage.” After the redeemer who was first in line chose not to adopt this role, it was given to the next in line, Boaz.
