Question
Does a mourner need to observe the laws of separation from his wife?
Answer
A mourner, whether male or female, during the shiva days, does not need to observe the laws of separation if the wife is not in a state of niddah. However, they should not sleep in the same bed. Regarding hugging and kissing, Ashkenazim should be stringent. (For a groom or bride who has never consummated, seclusion is forbidden)
