last rites and masyams

[Guest guest]

Dear Moderator

 

One of my friend's father expired and last rites could not be done by

him as he was away and his mother's kai pul was bought and last rites

were done by one of his uncle. after that 10 to 14 days was

completed keeping his first wife.

 

For Masyams since he is doing it in his second wife's house she used

to be with him doing agnisanthanam and theertham brokshikkarathu.

 

Is it allowed by sasthram?

 

I heard that only the first wife has the right to accompany the

husband in all the vaideeka karmas? Even if she is not alive - the

second wife has no right to join her husband during Karma karyams

 

Can any one clarify this point.

As the abtheegam for his father is nearing, i am raising this

question - so that I can advise accordingly what to do if his 1st

wife is not willing to accompany him for performing varushabthigam

 

i would be thankful to have your advice
