There are many IDEALS in Jewish life. It is IDEAL for all men to be talmidei Chachomim and sit and learn. It is IDEAL for all Yidden to be frum. It is IDEAL for the entire world to see the Light of Torah. It is likewise ideal for a bas Kohein to marry a Talmid Chochom who is also a Kohein. But that does not mean that if one does not live the IDEAL existence, that it cannot still be a wonderful, Torah-filled life. IDEAL was Gan Eden. We do not live in an ideal world; we can only try to perfect it as best we can. There are plenty of guys around who are not Kohanim or Leviim, who are terrific. And a bas Kohein should seek out a terrific, Torah-observant zivug. Is the shidduch crisis not hard enough already, without putting further restrictions on the process?
