So Right, you seem to be deficient in your knowledge of the details of what “chukas hagoyim” are. It comes down to traits that are defining points of that particular nation. To use an example from Rav Yosef Viener, you wouldn’t say that ketchup on hamburgers are assur because of “chukas hagoyim” since that’s how Americans eat hamburgers! So before ANYONE continues to throw around the term “chukas hagoyim” learn the topic please!
I don’t see opening the car door as being anything more than manners. I do it for my parents, wife, did it for my grandparents YBL”CH and I’m sure others do the same.
What’s your thought on the Chosson giving the Kallah a rose by Badeken? how about during dancing when he sings (howls?) Aishes Chayil? Obviously these seem to be loaded questions. My Rav/Rosh Yeshiva drew the line at the rose.
