Reply To: Defining “The Shidduch Crisis”

Golfer, if every single one of those signatories married off their (twin) 28 year old sons to 19 year old girls, it wouldn’t change the fact that they signed their names to the age gap theory.

By your own reasoning, until such a study is done, the suggestion is meaningless anyhow.

BTW, simple weddings with a one man band, and even to some degree “takana packages”, have become quite standard in yeshiva circles. People have told me that 25 or so years ago, they couldn’t make a chasunah as affordably as can be made today. Whether credit can be given to the kol korei can be debated, but the overall campaign to make weddings more affordable has been a huge success.

Sorry, I can’t quote a scientific study on that.
