Question

Is there a halachic source for a prohibition, or for refraining, from marrying someone who was born from a forbidden niddah relationship, or from marrying a grandchild (male or female) of a niddah, or a great‑grandchild (male or female) of a niddah? Is there any difference in this regard between a man and a woman, and is there any difference between a grandchild from the father’s side and a grandchild from the mother’s side? Please attach a source.

Answer

Shalom u’vracha 

Our teacher HaRav HaGaon Rabbi Amram Fried shlita ruled: 

If those who were born possess good character traits, there is no need to be concerned. 

There is no difference between a man and a woman, or between a son and a grandson, nor between a grandson from the father’s side and a grandson from the mother’s side.
