Dating a Ketubah on Rosh Chodesh

Hi,

A Ketubah written on the first day of the month should be dated באחד לחדש. On the thirtieth of the month, it should be dated [using Nisan as an example] as ביום שלשים לחדש ניסן שהוא ראש חדש אייר.

Technically, "Rosh Chodesh" does not appear in the Torah as a date, but it is an accepted colloquialism.

(Mordechai Gittin 454; Rama Even haEzer 126:4 and 126:6; Nachlat Shivah 6:2; Aruch haShulchan Even haEzer 126:22)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
