Question
A groom getting married in the week after Tisha B'Av, does he need to fast or since he fasted this week, he does not need to fast?
Answer
Any groom who has any discomfort does not need to fast, and therefore he should begin the fast, but if he feels any discomfort or weakness, he should stop fasting.
