הרב דוד אוחיון - ברכת אברהם משיב כהלכה
Country: ישראל

on: Unfortunately, my wife had to have a hysterectomy due to a cancerous tumor found in her womb, is there a halachic problem that we will continue to live together.

: First I share in your grief, Hashem will give you health and joy. To your question, even though the woman is infertile and cannot give birth, there is no prevention at all from living with her. The prohibition of the torah that doesn’t allow a marriage if you can’t give birth, is only for men and not for women. Also there is no problem of mutilation of sperm, since you are living together in a normal way.   Sources

Question:

Unfortunately, my wife had to have a hysterectomy due to a cancerous tumor found in her womb, is there a halachic problem that we will continue to live together.

Answer:

First I share in your grief, Hashem will give you health and joy.

To your question, even though the woman is infertile and cannot give birth, there is no prevention at all from living with her. The prohibition of the torah that doesn’t allow a marriage if you can’t give birth, is only for men and not for women. Also there is no problem of mutilation of sperm, since you are living together in a normal way.

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
