Question
If someone passed away and left a daughter without sons, can the daughter recite Kaddish in the presence of ten of her relatives (so there is no lack of modesty)?
Answer
A daughter should not be allowed to recite Kaddish so as not to weaken the customs of Israel. However, if there is no son or descendant who can recite Kaddish, the daughter should hire someone to say Kaddish for her father.
