Iv’e never heard of this “minhag” before, please allow my two cents
Many of those things we love to complain about started with one person
I have a daughter who is waiting to hear whether or not she got into seminary. So many tears will be shed next week when the girls match. Then tears will come from the parents when they get the bills. Many will complain. Whose fault is it that this has become the norm?
When it became the norm for boys to stop calling girls to arrange their own dates whose fault was that?
Simply do what you think is right and refuse to buy into this new mishagas.
I have rich friends that refuse to play the game of full support, and they have made beautiful shidduchim. They help more then their share but they refuse to believe that the other side has a right to say “he’s your problem now”. Don’t play the game, it will just irritate you and it creates precedence for these crazy notions to gain a foothold and eventually be considered the “norm”
Hatzlacha!
