Why Do the Eidei Kedushin Observe the Chosson Handing the Kesubah to the Kallah?

The practice of the eidei kedushin (witnesses to the marriage ceremony) watching the chosson (groom) give the kesubah (marriage contract) to the kallah (bride) is rooted in the halachic need to ensure that the marriage process adheres to the requirements of Jewish law and is properly validated.  This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
