Reply To: Teimanim With Multiple Wives

If the Ashkenazic Gedolim end the Cherem, probably with severe restrictions in permitting it again with specified instances when it is allowed (it obviously wouldn’t become the standard default or even majority of most mishpachas), it could potentially be a solution to the shidduch crisis where there’s a disparity in the number of boys (less) and girls (more) in shidduchim. This is in addition to other potential benefits, such as those that prompted the Vilna Gaon to want to end the Cherem, as someone noted above.
