Marriage
Question
Hello, honored Rabbi. May a kohen marry a woman from the Ethiopian community who underwent a conversion out of stringency?
Answer
I’m not familiar with this issue. It requires examination as to how significant the concern is. In principle, even if she is only possibly a convert, she is forbidden to him, since with a Torah-level doubt we rule stringently.
