Reply To: Setting up a MO girl with a serious Lakewood bochur = good idea or not?

Zion, I think Rav Chaim K shlita answered something to that effect when okayed shidduch that a brother was otd.

Mrs. Joseph, many “eitza tova” of chazal are no longer applicable, example the home remedies for ailments, many (but not all) “sakana” advice…what is applicable to us is brought in halacha. Checking the brothers is NOT brought in halacha.

Chazal say ‘check her brothers’. Rav Chaim K shlita was asked, what does one ‘check’ the brothers for? He answered check if they are normal. When further pressed, what does ‘normal’ mean? he answered, that they learn Torah.
