Wearing Wife's Clothes in the Bedroom

Question

Is it permitted or forbidden for a husband to wear his wife's clothes when they are together in the bedroom? Does it matter if it's outerwear or underwear?

Answer

Hello Rabbi

It is forbidden to wear women's clothing, even if it is his wife.

Outerwear is prohibited by the Torah, and underwear is prohibited by rabbinic decree.
