[Avodah] Bais Ovi: Time Off From Torah For Weddings & Sheva Brachos

[Prof. Levine]

 From http://revach.net/article.php?id=3528

The gemara says that you stop learning for Hachnasas Kallah.  What 
does that entail, going to a Chupah?  Staying for the meal?  What 
about Sheva Brachos?  Also the gemara says that you may not indulge 
in the se'uda of a Choson and Kallah if you do not gladden their 
hearts.  Does this include Sheva Brachos?

Rav Yitzchok Eizek Liebes in Shu"T Bais Ovi 5:14 says that when the 
gemara allows for Bitul Torah for Hachnasas Kallah it is specifically 
to escort the Choson to his Chupah as per the wording of the Rema (EH 
6:1).  The heter of bitul torah does not go beyond that.  Similarly 
says the Bais Ovi, it is logical that the gemara that talks about not 
enjoying the meal of a choson without making him happy refers to the 
wedding meal and not the Sheva Brachos.
