Is a Badekening to be done by a Zivug Sheiyni?[1]

Yes, but it is to be done by another woman, and not the Chasan. Likewise, it may be done under the Chuppah and not necessarily prior to walking to the Chuppah. [In this regard, it is defined as a Zivug Sheiyni even if the Kallah has not been previously married, but is not a Besula.[2]]
