COLUMBUS, Ga. -- The widow of a Georgia-based soldier killed in Iraq said on Monday that her mother-in-law has agreed not to stand in the way of her efforts to be artificially inseminated with her husband's sperm so she can have his baby.

Before he died March 31 of wounds suffered when an explosive detonated near his vehicle in Baghdad, Army Sgt. Dayne Darren Dhanoolal had talked often with his wife about having children.

Dhanoolal had signed a military form designating his mother as the person to handle disposition of his remains if he died while serving. After his death, however, a probate judge appointed his wife as temporary administrator of his estate. The wife maintained that gives her control of her husband's remains. He did not have a will.

A federal judge in Columbus granted a request Friday by the widow for a temporary restraining order preventing the military from embalming the soldier's body until after samples of his sperm were extracted from his body.

The samples were taken later that day and are in the custody of a medical representative for the widow.

The widow said Monday that there is no dispute anymore and her mother-in-law has acknowledged the couple's wishes regarding children.
