To Rabbi Shalom,
 
There’s a secular girl I know that I want to be in a relationship with. As is the case with secular people in general, I assume she’d like to have sex before marriage.
 
I agree with the mistress law, but I think it would be difficult for me to ask her to immerse herself in a mikveh early in the relationship without putting her off the idea of ​​being in a relationship with me.
 
The question is – is a shower considered a mikveh according to Torah, and then it would be permissible to go through a niddah only according to rabbinic law when the goal is to establish a relationship with a pro and rabbi, which is according to Torah (and one can also refer to the idea of ​​marriage, which is a mitzvah according to certain poskim.) And is it only a temporary situation, which I will not agree to continue after intimacy is established? (Then it turns out that I am making her not miss the niddah of another partner she may have, and overall I am reducing offenses such as breaking one Sabbath on him so that he may keep many Sabbaths.)
 
(I don’t take it as a “lie” that I don’t say that later I will ask you to take a dip. This is the way of courting that not everything is said at the beginning)
 
Thank you very much.

Hello. I am completely opposed to this policy, even if it were possible (and it is not). Just as you are willing to pay prices for it, it should also pay prices for you. If you want to live a married life, be respectful and marry as a human being. Simply put, this is also not possible from the point of view of concubinage (see the debate surrounding Zvi Zohar’s article in Akademo). A shower, of course, is not a cure and is of no use. And it has nothing to do with violating Shabbat for one of many reasons. In particular, you don’t tell a person to sin so that your friend can benefit.
