May Parents and Children sleep in Same Bed?
Daily Study of the Noahide Code of Laws
The Divine Code for February 1, 2023
Today: Page 455- 456
Topic Chapter 6:1 - 6:3
A man is forbidden to have close physical contact with a "forbidden relation".
He must distance himself from all actions that arouse his inclination to desire sinful cohabitation. But a father may hug and kiss his daughter, as this is not done in a way of sinful desire but rather of a parent's love to a child. It is permitted for a parent to sleep in the same bed as a child, wirh full body contact, until the children reach the stage that the child is embarressed to stand naked before a parent. Even at a later age in childhood, it is permitted for them to sleep in the same bed as long as they are clothed, until a girl is at the age of 12 and a boy at the age of 13 years.
