No. The issue of znut does not apply to a single Jewish woman and a Jewish man who have relations.

That's not entirely true. That whole issue was discussed in the thread on couples having relations during engagement, Entropy explained it well there.

Thanks Ora!

I would rank the various misdeeds as follows (worst sin last):

1) Jewish men, mikveh, life partners (pilegesh)
2) Jewish man, mikveh, no intent of commitment (would be znut but has chazaka of pilegesh)
3) gentile, relationship unimportant, mikveh irrelevent (znut)
4) Jewish man, no mikveh (niddah)

How about this one: Watch out for your life!

non jews, because of their promiscuity, are far more likely to carry sexually transmitted diseases such as HPV and Herpes.

Genital Herpes is communicated via skin to skin contact, so even a condom won't help.

One shadchan inadvertently set me up with a guy who had gone off the Derech and had s*xual relations with a gentile. He became frum again and did Teshuva. I refused to go out with him, because I have no idea what methods of birth control were used, and even if they were, there is no gaurantee that he would be free of s*xlly transmitted diseases.

I have one non-Jewish co-worker who has only had ONE boyfriend her entire life, because she is a religious catholic. Her boyfriend is also a religious catholic. He had only ONE girlfriend prior to my co-worker. Yet, my co-worker now has HPV, a virus which causes infertility. The only treatment available is to scrape away the precancerous cells of the cervix, which weakens the cervix.

Tell your friend to get the HPV vaccine. There is currently no Herpes vaccine available. There are stories of men who have cheated on their wives and gave their wives herpes.

This is no laughing matter.

That's a no-brainer, then, just get blood tests before jumping in the sack with her gentile suitor! (skip the test for a Jewish beau)

Maybe a modified dose of Ritalin can help you organize your thoughts before you post, save us all the embarrassment.

From what I read on Imamother some frum people are much more promiscuous, in thoughts if not in acts, than many non jews.

How many people do you know of ask to see the results of blood tests for s*xlly transmitted diseases before jumping in bed with someone? Even if someone actually went for testing, who says the test results are up-to-date and that the papers were not tampered with?

Love is the result of passion, of the heat of the moment.

Some Jewish men have s*lly transmitted diseases, too, but don't advertise it.

Who says you can skip the test for someone Jewish?

Blood tests before relations (or, at least, before ditching condoms) are de rigeur among educated non-religious couples.

There are mandatory blood tests before civil wedding in France.

The mitzva of nidda is the one of the woman. Even if she lives/ marry a gentile, she should keep taharas hamishpacha and go to the mikva. I know it sounds very strange, butI actually asked a rov about this question, and that's whathe said.


It does indeed sound strange. Perhaps the Rov has other reasons to instill good habits in this woman.
Hopefully she lives near a beach in a tropical climate, because I don't know what mikveh will allow her to dip.


why would a mikvah not allow her to dip? it's not their business to know if the women who come are married or not.

Though she says she will only marry someone Jewish, I find myself praying she doesn't fall in love with anyone non-Jewish, since she's obviously not restraining physical contact with them...

If someone for piku’ach nefesh has to eat meat on Shabbos that still has to be slaughtered, the question could be which is preferable to have Jew slaughter it or eat non-kosher food. This is a valid question. But to ask which is preferable - to live with a gentile or to live with a Jew be’issur is like asking to check the lung of the pig to see if it is treif because it has a hole, or if it is better to steal $1000 or $1500? They’re both assur!!!

pacifier, I see what you're saying and I don't necessarily disagree - maybe that's how it should be - but it isn't.
She will have to pose as halachicly married, or hope that they turn a blind eye.

you're right and wrong.

On one hand we don't know the rewards for the mitzvot so we are never allowed to assume a certain mitzva is unimportant.

On the other hand, there is definitely a well-defined hierarchy in types of mitzvot.
Nidda is definitely worse than znut.
Znut is definitely worse than pilagshut.
In kashrut every lav counts against you separately. a pig gives you 1 lav (rumination). If you can splurge for the healthy pig, why not. 1 lav is better than 2 lavs.
All things equal, it is better to steal $1000 and not $1500.

As a Mikvah lady in an OOT community, this has come up several times. I checked with Rabbonim and was told not to take the woman to Mikvah as she doesnt have to keep TH and also, it would give her the false impression that we're condoning her improper relations.
