Hi,
There is a debate as to whether a child born of a prohibited sexual interaction is obligated to honor the parent until the parent repents. It is clear, though, that the child is not permitted to deliberately pain the parent.
(Code of Jewish Law Yoreh Deah 240:18, 241:4-5)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Interesting concept. What about the case where the parent's sin is something else (a murderer, for example)?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your question. The obligation of honor remains (without honoring the sin).
ReplyDeleteThe novelty of the case discussed here is that the entire act of parenting was a product of sin.
