Question
Is a veil used as usual in second marriages?
Answer
The veil is a sign of first marriages, and therefore, in second marriages, a thinner veil than usual should be used to make it noticeable, and the groom should not cover the bride. Additionally, there is an importance that during the Kiddushin, the bride closes her eyes if there is no veil or if it is see-through.
