I wonder what would happen if people actually responded to deceptive practices just like in the real world. What if everyone acted as a “customer” – let the Shadchan sell the product – instead of being sold to the Shadchan. If they trick or lie, why treat them differently than a store selling unkosher as kosher.
As an aside, I find it despicable that when it comes to exposing bad behavior – molesters and other serious offenses, people suddenly are concerned about the “lashon hara” aspect. When a store suddenly loses hechsher, which is sometimes only caused by non-payment or getting a different agency, there is no fear of taking out FULL PAGE ads in several newspapers to inform the public. WOW! Talk about mistaken priorities!
