Should one avoid getting married past the 15th day of the month in today’s times?[1]
Although it is recorded in the Poskim[2], and so was the original custom[3], to avoid getting married past the 15th day of the month in most months[4], nonetheless, in today’s times the earlier one gets married the better and hence we do not pay attention to whether or not the wedding date is past the 15th of the month so long as it is an earlier date then the other option.[5]
