Question
Can a mourner within a year of his mother's passing attend a second marriage wedding if it is a small and limited event?
Answer
The law for a second marriage is the same as for a first marriage, as it is said at the meal that the joy is in His dwelling. However, in the case of remarrying a divorced wife, it is permissible to be lenient and allow participation within thirty days at home, like any meal where it is not said that the joy is in His dwelling.
