Question
Hello, if a woman has a husband named 'Shimon', who is called 'Shimi', and her father is named 'Shimshon', who is also called 'Shimi' [so there is no issue with the names of the son-in-law and father-in-law], is she allowed to call her husband by his name [Shimi] when her father is present with them?
Answer
Hello and blessings,
The woman can indeed call her husband by that name in the presence of her father, and she has a basis for doing so.
