Q. If someone had to have a name added because of a severe Covid infection, and B’H survived and the added name was kept, does one have to change the name written in the Kesuva and write a new one?
A. Most Poskim maintain that no change is needed. (Se Alenu Leshabeach p. 611).
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that since at the time when the Kesuva was written, the person’s name was correct, it is still a valid document, and no changes are needed.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Shlomo Miller, Horav Dovid Pam and Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a
