AZ – thanks for the answer.
I have a followup question, of course: What is believed to be the cause of it? Is it the simple fact that there are more girls than boys born, and more reach maturity? Or are there other reasons? boys marrying out of the faith? Higher mortality rates on boys than girls? More boys than usual not wishing to get married?
Why is it a crisis now? What happened to change this from normalcy to crisis.
Thanks in advance for the answer.
