Barry Epstein asked:
Which is the halachah for which the penalty is kares in forbidden unions? Which way do we rule?
Barry Epstein, Dallas, USA
The Kollel replies:
The REMA (in Even ha'Ezer 20:1) rules that the death penalty, or the Kares penalty, applies only at the point of "Hachnasas ha'Atarah," actual entry.
