Reply To: Defining “The Shidduch Crisis”

Is this what you’re referring to?

The Gedolei Hador have previously exhorted the Tzibbur and Bochurim to make every effort to marry at the earliest appropriate age. Therefore, we encourage Bnei Torah and their parents, if it is consistent with the advice of their Rabbeim, to consider shidduchim at age 21. May a sweet and pleasant life be bestowed upon those who listen, and may they merit to build upstanding homes in Klal Yisrael, and to raise children and grand-children involved in Torah and Mitzvos.

Seems pretty nuanced to me – it says to consider, and only if their rebbeim are in favor.
