Is there a connection between neglecting to pay Shadchanus to the Shadchan who spent many hours, days, weeks and moths and arranged your Shidduch, and the blazing Shidduch crisis that were all very aware of, with thousands of heartbroken singles hoping a Shadchan will put effort into matching them, but gets burnt out when theyre not paid for a successful Shidduch?

What right does a shadchan have to underserve an innocent client who engaged his or her services in good faith, and who has nothing to do with the previous clients who didn’t pay? Two wrongs don’t make a right. If a shadchan is having trouble getting compensation he or she is owed, have clients sign contracts and bring them to dinei Torah if they renege. If shadchanus is your parnassa, conduct it like a business.
