If the son reaches puberty and has a wet dream, he may go wherever he wishes without his father's permission, except that it is commendable for him to seek permission as a form of dutifulness. He must seek permission for travel in which harm or peril is feared, or if his father is in need of him and fears destitution after his departure.
