Question

Question for the Gaon, Rabbi Amram Fried, shlita. I wanted to ask about baalei teshuva: the man is from a Kohen family, and the woman is a daughter born from an interfaith marriage, where the father is a non-Jew and the mother is Jewish. It is known from the poskim that if such a couple has already married, they do not divorce. However, in this case, these baalei teshuva have not yet married but have lived together for several years, and now they want to marry according to the law of Moses and Israel. Is this considered b'diavad and permitted for them, or must they separate?

Consult with our rabbi and ask, as these questions require tailoring the details to each specific case and are not suitable for an email response.
