GAW:
“If this idea is implemented across all/most shaddchonim, it will cause a larger crisis than the current one.”
Please explain.
Implementing this across the board would
a) encourage far more people to get involved in redding shidduchim
b) encourage people to redd shiddcuhim to slightly older singles instead of focusing on the “new crop”. Clearly the younger they are the easier it is to close the deal. 5 dates to a 19 year old in many circles is almost engaged. If the shadchan was compensated for their time and effoer they would be far more willing to redd to slightly older girls- resulting in more dates for them and thus inevitable more engagements.
