The pension shall be paid to the widow, during her lifetime or until she remarries.

A widow of a pensioner is not entitled to a pension unless she was married to the deceased pensioner at least five years prior to the date of his retirement. If the widow, widower, child, or children marry, the pension paid to the person so marrying shall cease. If a member is subject to the provisions of Section 32341 and does not exercise the option provided for therein, the amount shall not exceed one hundred fifty dollars ($150) per month.
