Question: Do I need to go to the mikvah before my second wedding ceremony?

Dear Rabbi Enkin,
I went to the mikvah when I got married the first time. Do I need to go to the mikvah before my second wedding ceremony also?
Thank you, Rachel

Answer: Dear Rachel,

A married woman goes to the mikvah every month. When a woman is about to get married whether it is a first, second or third marriage, she should go to the mikvah according to her regular cycle as close to the wedding as possible.

Hope this helps!
