- Q. Dear Rov.
I was chosen to be an “Eid” (witness) on the Chupa wedding ceremony of the daughter of a good friend. Yet the face of the Kalah (bride) reminded covered during the giving of the ring and I could truly not see her face and recognize who she was. In that case was my testimony valid and the ceremony valid?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that if you know that this is the Kalah, even if you can’t see her face at the time of receiving the ring the testimony is valid.
