Question
Is it permissible for a young man arriving at the Western Wall to tear his garment, or should he be concerned that his father does not agree with tearing the garment?
Answer
There is no need to be concerned about this, and he is obligated to tear the garment. [If his father does not agree, see Bava Kamma 102b and Choshen Mishpat, Siman 97]
