Reply To: Defining “The Shidduch Crisis”

To clarify, I’m sure you and popa have only good intentions, but the effect of inactivity vs. closing the age gap is fewer girls married, and more tzaar.

I don’t think NASI has ever advocated that girls be not allowed to marry until a certain age (I certainly haven’t), although there have been a few such ridiculous comments on the CR and letters to the editor in frum publications.

What they have advocated is that boys and shadchanim try to focus on the girls who aren’t 19-20, and now, that boys who are ready to get married should do so younger, and not be held back by convention. Is there anything objectionable to you about those ideas?
