Question
A young man went to a groom's instructor before the wedding, and his father was supposed to pay for it. However, since his father went bankrupt immediately after the wedding, he was unable to pay. Is the debt on the son or on the father? The distinction is important because if the debt is on the son, he must pay from his own money, but if the debt is on the father, he can pay from tithe money.
Answer
The debt is on the father, therefore it can be paid from tithe money.
