Reply To: Your 21 year old son may be ready for marriage

40-50 years ago, there were frum yidden, who shidduchim with frum yidden. Yes, chassidishe tended to marry chassidishe, and non chassidishe tended to marry non chassidishe. if you were a shomrei torah ummitzvos you were a candidate for marriage. Fastforward 40 years, wrong camp, wrong seminary, wrong denier stockings, wrong yeshiva in ey, wrong chabura, wrong type of sheitel, wrong shul, everyone is the wrong “shnit”. of course there is a lack of potential shidduchim.
