I recently became aware that in the chassidishe velt, it’s the boys who are having a “crisis”. Why is it that they have a harder time marrying off their sons than their daughters?
Maybe the same as part of the reason for the girls shidduch crisis in litvishe oilom: MONEY.
As far as I know in litvishe oilom, the norm is the girl’s side providing the $$$$. In chassidisher oilom, I think half half is the ‘rule’. I don’t know if this is true everywhere or if this is one of the main reasons or not.
