Becoming Tameii for the wrong reasons
In biblical/temple times, would it have been wrong to vounteer to do something which will make one tameii if the motivation is to avoid a different obligation? If I don't want to spend time with my in-laws, would it be wrong to volunteer to get involved with a meis mitzvah because I know I would be forced to go out of the camp until my being made tahor, so I would miss the in-laws. Can I "hide behind" tum'ah to avoid other things?
