LU- Hashkafahmaster, And what if it happens in a way that is clearly completely assur (as opposed to what’s being discussed in this thread which doesn’t necessarily fall in that category)?
The ends doesn’t always justify the means.
I think what is meant is that since dating is needed to get married and marriage is a prerequisite for having children which is a Mitzvah and since someone doing a Mitzvah will not be harmed. Similarly someone doing a prerequisite for a mitzvah (dating) wouldn’t be harmed. Or he may hold since the boy is looking for his rib it might be a case of Ha Shovas Aviadah which is also a Mitzvah and there is no assur.
The question is does a positive commandment override a negative commandment in this case?
