Even though the hair is going to be cut it isn't a chatzitza when they go to the mikveh before the wedding.<ref>Chatom Sofer 195 holds that the hair isn't a chatzitza even though it is going to be cut (and should be a chatzitza according to the Raavan 326 cited by Shach 198:25) since it isn't going to be cut prior to the wedding. Igrot Moshe YD 2:88 argues with his proof but agrees with his position for another reason; since the hair is adorns a woman even though she's going to cut it because of a minhag it isn't like it is cut already.</ref> | |||
