#A husband and wife who converted together need to wait 3 months before remarrying each other in order to differentiate between a child she would have while non-Jewish and while she’s Jewish.

#A woman who was previously “married” to a Jew and converts must wait 3 months before getting remarried after the conversion.<ref>Shulchan Aruch E.H. 13:5</ref> However, they do not need to wait 3 months if it is clear that she’s pregnant or not pregnant, such as if she’s too old to have children.<ref>Rav Elyashiv (Kovetz Teshuvot 3:150) writes that a non-Jewish woman married to a Jew who converted does not need havchana if it is clear that she’s not pregnant such as if she’s too old to have children. He writes that this is included in the leniency of the Dagul Mirvava since regarding two Jews this case is impossible. The only case that is comparable to two Jews who were married and got divorced is two non-Jews who were married and now she converted and married another Jew. In that case, there is no leniency even if it is known that she’s pregnant or not pregnant. </ref> | #A woman who was previously “married” to a Jew and converts must wait 3 months before getting remarried after the conversion.<ref>Shulchan Aruch E.H. 13:5</ref> However, they do not need to wait 3 months if it is clear that she’s pregnant or not pregnant, such as if she’s too old to have children.<ref>Rav Elyashiv (Kovetz Teshuvot 3:150) writes that a non-Jewish woman married to a Jew who converted does not need havchana if it is clear that she’s not pregnant such as if she’s too old to have children.

In that case, there is no leniency even if it is known that she’s pregnant or not pregnant. Yabia Omer EH 9:12:1-2 quotes Isa Bracha who was lenient about a even case of a woman who was married to a Jew and wants to convert since it is similar to a woman who became pregnant out of wedlock (Shulchan Aruch E.H. 13:6). However, he quotes that Rav Uziel and Melamed Lhoil who rejected that concept since she wants to be married to him and become pregnant from him. Nonetheless, he's lenient with a pregnancy test and doesn't explain further.</ref> | ||

Igrot Moshe YD 3:110 and EH 2:5 follows Dagul Mirvava but isn’t more lenient than that.</ref> | #A woman who was previously married to a non-Jew and converts by herself must wait 3 months before getting married to a Jewish man after the conversion.<ref>Shulchan Aruch E.H. 13:5</ref> There’s no leniency even if it is clear that she’s not pregnant such as if she’s too old to have children.<ref>Chelkat Mechokek 13:4 isn’t sure about this.
