Reply To: A posek can tell you who to marry

Lilmod, there is also a difference between telling someone not to go out with a particular person because of a halachic (e.g. cohen and gerusha) or personal (e.g. a health issue) reason. However, in the latter case the person must tell you the reason and you are not allowed to fully believe it but only to have a suspicion and seek to clarify it if you can. Unfortunately, it does happen that people exaggerate or even outright lie either to exact revenge or because of personal prejudices.
