A shadchan who accepts $200 for the time invested in setting up a boy and girl on 3 or 4 dates is going against halacha????
Please quote chapter and verse.
As an aside, I’m must be missing something. If a parent willing chooses to inform a shadchan that they recognize the time and effort required and will be willing to compensate if the shadchan get their child to a 3rd/4th date. Is anything not appropriate being done?
didn’t think so.
I just suggested to parents to do exactly that, BECAUSE IT WORKS.
In addition you commented that you wished there were more people actively involved in redding shidduchimn. I simply made the obvious observation that if people were compensated for arranging quality dates there would be more shadchanim.
