[Avodah] ishto ke-gufo

[Eli Turkel]

<<In addition to the shitos RDB mentions in the "Women and Nerot Chanukah"
and "Women and Mehadrin" sections, note that in "Ner Ish U-Veito --
How Many Lights?" he notes that the Rambam's language (Chanukah 4:1)
implies that "ner ish ubeiso" is a chiyuv cheftza on the house, even if
one happens to go mehadrin and light one per inhabitant of that house.
That is an issue of number, not who is chayav.>>

According to the Rambam the baal habayit lights a number of candles equal to
those
in the house. I assume as Micha says that htis is an issue of number and
would
include the wife as a number.
i.e. husband, wife and 2 kids according to Rambam the husband lights
4*#of night candles
