gaw, What “when you marry a kollel boy that goes on in the Sems”?? Such does not go on in sems. At least not as you seemingly portray it. The sems do not insist that all the girls must marry a kollel guy. That perception seems popular amongst those who seem to dislike kollel. In fact the sems value both kollel AND koveiah zman itim. Sems do not discourage marriage to young men who are koveiah zman itim. Sure there is a specialness to marrying someone who will learn in kollel, and the sems rightfully educate the girls that this (kollel) is something to highly value and esteem. But they also realize that it is not the right approach for all girls, and those should seek someone who will be koveiah zman itim.
