Question
Is it permissible to propose a match when the groom's mother is named Rina, and the bride's mother has the same name (noting that neither has a second name)?
Answer
Propose the match, and if it proceeds, then before the wedding (at least 30 days prior), add an additional name to one of the mothers (thus alleviating concerns regarding the testament of Rabbi Yehuda HaChasid).
