Father Dating Young Woman
Question
Hello Rabbi, I am a little embarrased to tell this but I dont have nobody to help me, my father is 61, he and my mother divorced in 2021 and now my father (61) is seeing a 25 year old woman, I am 26 myself and my girlfriend is 25, I feel it is not correct however I dont know if I should confront my father about it, what is your advice?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
As odd as it may appear, you should not interfere in your father’s decisions in this area. There is nothing Halachically wrong with his choice of partner even though such an arrangement is very uncommon.
