The herem still applies, it was renewed.
That being said, lemme get this straight, a guy dates and dates and dates, never finding a girl he clicks with. After going on countless numbers of dates he finally meets one he likes and she agrees to marry him.
They get married and he thinks he left the horrors of shidduch dating behind him, but no. He has to do it all over again.
Only this time instead of giving references for himself and his family, he has to give references for his wife and her family.
If you think people asked a lot of questions before, now youd never get them off the phone
