<div>I posted the following back in January:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"I do not want to again bring up the topic of negiah and derech chiba which<br>has been discussed many times. However, i am looking for sources on its<br>application to relations by marriage, e.g. son-in-law and mother-in-law or<br>
daughter-in-law and father-in-law.</div>
<div>A specific example. In a home on Friday night, where the father's minhag is<br>to give the birchat habanim and banot by placing a hand (or both hands) on<br>the head of the child, can he do so with his daughter-in-law? I could not<br>
find sources. Any help or ideas?"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The only responses I received concerned giving a bracha at the bedeken during the wedding. I was really looking for sources concerning a regular Friday night and the minhag of birchat habanim/banot. </div>
<div>Any help would be appreciated.</div>
