Back then, when the Grimms were alive, it was really common for mothers to die during childbirth, and for the father to remarry (usually to a girl around the age of his eldest daughter).

So it's entirely possible, that after Graduation, Apple's mother would drop dead, and Raven would be forced to marry Apple's father, which is a pretty horrible thought, to be honest.
