The Rebbe's Advice #1004 - Daughter and Mother-in-Law

In memory of Rabbi Gavriel & Rebbetzin Rivkah Holtzberg HYD - Shluchim to Mumbai, India*

Since the mother-in-law has two names and the daughter-in-law has only one name, even though the one name she has is also one of the two names her future mother-in-law has, it’s fine to marry. It’s proper, from the actual engagement on, that each of them sign their names differently.

*As a practical matter, since each person’s circumstances are always different, one must use the guidance above as general instruction. The exact application at any given time must be discussed with a competent rabbi, or/and a counselor of Torah, a Mashpia.
