The fifth way in which we afflict ourselves [on Tish\u2019a B\u2019Av<\/em>] is by refraining from marital relations. In order to avoid stumbling in this matter, a couple must act on the night of Tish\u2019a B\u2019Av<\/em> as they do when the wife is a niddah<\/em> (a menstrual woman). That is, they may not touch each other, sleep in the same bed, or pass things to each other from hand to hand, [etc.]. During the day, however, they need not observe all the precautionary measures that are in place when a woman is a niddah<\/em>, but affectionate touching and sleeping in the same bed are still forbidden.[13]<\/a><\/p>\n
