Dec 10, 2015 at 20:43 comment added Fred @SAH In that responsum, R' Moshe does not explicitly address whether there is more than a semantic difference (from a halachic perspective) between marriage and living together in a monogamous sexual relationship.
Dec 10, 2015 at 20:37 comment added Fred @SAH According to R' Moshe Feinstein, Jews in a secular marriage are possibly considered halachically married via intercourse, whereas Jews who marry in a Reform ceremony are not, since they believe that the ceremony was religiously binding and therefore are deemed not to consider any subsequent intercourse as consummating their relationship (Igros Moshe EH 3:25).
Dec 9, 2015 at 2:38 comment added Double AA @SAH Yes. (in the general case, at least. CYLOR with any particulars)
Jul 3, 2015 at 13:54 comment added SAH But plenty of Jewish couples have only secular marriages, or weddings without Kedushin. Does this mean they are not halachically husband and wife?
Jul 2, 2015 at 7:36 comment added user4951 What is a kiddushin? So people are married if and only if they have a kiddushin?

Oct 10, 2012 at 9:17 comment added Michoel Is it that simple? A woman can be acquired through bi'ah and "eiyn adam oeseh be'iyso bias znus"..
