Hair Between the Eyebrows

Question

Is a groom allowed to remove the hair between his eyebrows for the wedding day, and what is the ruling for the rest of the first year of marriage?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha 

It is forbidden for a man to remove eyebrow hair for the sake of beauty, because of the prohibition of "lo yilbash" (the prohibition of imitating women’s dress and adornment). 

Except in a case where it looks abnormal and constitutes a disgrace; then it is permitted.
