As has been said, the custom in many homes is to lite two candles and
then to add one for each child the family is blessed with.

What happens in the case of divorce? Does the women reduce the
number of candles by one after she is divorced? If not, then if she
remarries, does she add another candle or leave the number the same as
before? If her new husband has children, does she add candles
for each one of them?<br><br>
