Family Minhag - What to do?
My boyfriend has an Ashkenazi father and a Sephardi mother. However, his father was not religious and never taught him Ashkenazi minhagim, nusach, or really any religious practice. They also never followed Ashkenazi minhag in their home. His mother is Sephardi, and that was the side of the family he was actually exposed to religiously. We want to establish a consistent Sephardi home and follow Maran Shulchan Aruch/Rav Ovadia Yosef rather than switching between Sephardi and Ashkenazi rulings.
In a situation where no Ashkenazi minhag was ever practiced or passed down from the father, is he still halachically required to follow Ashkenazi minhag because his father is Ashkenazi? Or can he establish Sephardi minhag based on the tradition he was actually raised around? My Mother is Ashkenazi and Father Sephardi. I know my background has no impact on the Halacha as I must follow my husband. I just want to make sure we aren’t breaking any Halacha but we are both more inclined and connected to the Sephardic Minhag.
I’m especially interested in sources or rulings from Rav Ovadia Yosef/Yalkut Yosef or other Sephardi poskim.
