voos- Pirkei Avos also says not to start learning Talmud until 15. It seems that the ages set forth in Pirkei Avos are not rules set in stone.

It is highly likely this is not being reported accurately.

Couples got married and hid the fact for several years?

Did they elope? Get married Vegas style? Swear the guests to secrecy upon the punishment of death? Did the young man not put on a talis or the young lady not cover her hair or go to the mikveh? Was there a sudden spike in out of wedlock pregnancies?

Whatever shortcoming the Rebbe Shlita perceived in his kehilla he has addressed with this takanna, need it be publicised to the world? Now that it has been publicised, at least do so accurately.

Is this connected to the new Israeli law, passed by the Knesset, barring marriage to those under 18?

Chusen, I guess you’re suggesting that you’re smarter than Pirkei Avos?

I love Toldos Ahron; it’s a very functional chassidus.

It is higly doubtful that “over recent years younger couple that got married would hide the fact, sometimes for a number of years.” More likely they kept the fact that they were secretely ENGAGED for a couple of years before announcing the engagement and then getting married.
