“I don’t understand when women became the mediators of shidduchim, they don know hilkhos loshon horah ”
I take it you haven’t followed Lilmod Ulelameid’s threads here on the CR, or you would never have made that statement. And not just her- girl’s schools teach hilchot lashon hara and girls/women take part in mishmaros not to speak L”H etc. You can’t blame the shidduch crisis on women not knowing hilchos L”H.
By the way, there are plenty of ashkenazi families where the father does the checking, and consults with his rav/rebbe about the shidduch. In general, however, it is easier for a father to check out a boy and a mother to check out a girl.
