Okay. I think keeping parents away from their children’s shiduchim is not only sane, it’s smart.
If there continued to be an age gap, how would there not continue to be a shidduch crisis?
There are two things: 1) the fact that boys start dating later than girls do 2) the hakpada that boys’ parents have that their son shouldn’t marry someone older.
#2 is a direct consequence of parents being in charge, and if parents are not involved, that problem will go away. The #1 problem is only a problem as far as you take #2. In words, I mean that if boys would date older girls, the fact that they start later wouldn’t matter.
If boys would start shiduchim earlier, and the insane hypothetical law outlawing marrying a younger girl were to be enacted, but parents would still be in charge of the shiduchim, there probably would be improvement, but there would still be a general crisis, spread out equally among the boys and girls. When there’s an equal amount of unmarried boys and girls, it would result in everyone getting married eventually, the emphasis on “eventually”.
