“The only one I’m unsure of is lying about age for shidduchim. There may be different opinions, so you have to ask a sheilah. Personally, I think it’s a bad idea even if someone is told it’s permissible” (LU)

LU: Agreed on the lying about age for myself at least. I wouldn’t feel right about starting off a marriage with a lie (assuming that all went well).

Maybe if the two have a good sense of humor and can laugh about it.

Still I wouldn’t want to lie and don’t know if I would want to continue seeing someone who lied to me about his age.

Here’s a related thread:
