Question
There are many questions when receiving envelopes with money at celebrations, when it is not specified to whom they are intended. We received an envelope that says, "To the family... and the young couple, congratulations," with 100 shekels attached, given to the mother by hand. It seems logical that the parents would do with it as they see fit, either keeping it for themselves, giving it to the couple, or sharing it. Of course, one can ask the giver, but it is uncomfortable.
Answer
Hello
If it was given to the mother, it belongs to the parents. [Unless stated otherwise].
