Reply To: would you go into a shidduch with a boy from a divorced home?

I would check thoroughly into the situation, see what the issues were. If he watched his mother being abused by a miserable excuse for a husband, I would want to make sure his middow were nothing like his father’s. Sometimes two really fine, nice people just cannot remain married to each other. The Torah provides for that. If the mother had problems getting the GET, that would raise a red flag to me. Each situation has to be judged on its own merits.
