הפריה חוץ גופית לצורך קביעת תכונות העובר
שלום וברכה: להלן שאלתי – האם מותר לבני זוג לפנות לאפיק של הפריה מלאכותית (חוץ גופית) לצורך בחירת מין העובר או תכונותיו החיצוניות? א. כאשר
I found your site on the internet.
I want to ask you, if you can answer that. There is a religious request to
give sexual satisfaction to the partner. The man and the wife have this
obligation.
But can you have sex in order not to procreate, just for fun ? If yes what
about the forbidden spilling of seed ?
I am having a difficulty understanding that. Would be good if you would
know.
see the article attached, and these parts written by Maimonides:
Maimonides, Mishneh Torah
Hilchot Ishut – the Laws of Marriage
Chapter Ten, Halacha two:
"Once the arusah has entered the chuppah, her husband is allowed to have
relations with her at any time he desires, and she is considered to be his
wife with regard to all matters. Once she enters the chuppah, she is called
a nesu'ah, although [the couple] has not engaged in sexual relations. [The
above applies when] it is fitting to engage in relations with the woman. If,
however, the woman is in the niddah state [when relations are forbidden],
the marriage bond is not completed and she is still considered
to be an arusah although she entered the chuppah and remained in privacy
[with her husband]."
Chapter Fourteen, Halacha seven:
"It is forbidden for a man to deprive his wife of her conjugal rights. If he
transgresses and deprives her of these rights in order to cause her
distress, he violates one of the Torah's negative commandments, as [Exodus
21:10] states: "Do not deprive [her] of her sustenance, garments or conjugal
rights." If he becomes sick or his virility is weakened, and he is unable to
engage in sexual relations, he is given a period of six months – for [a
woman is
never required to wait] longer for her cnjugal rights then this – in the
hope that he recovers. Afterwards, the prerogative is hers [whether to
remain married] or whether he must divorce her and pay her [the money due
her by virtue of her] ketubah.
