Good for you! Regarding lying about age… I think many times, like you said, people will lie to get a shidduch. One of my relatives was a little older when she found her shidduch and asked her Rav if she can shed a year or two off her age. She was told that not only may she do so, she must. Obviously, before marriage, the truth should come out about everything but to get to a date nowadays is difficult enough and therefore the Rav okayed this provided that he find out eventually. I can tell you that she wouldn’t have dated her husband had he known her true age to begin with but they are one of the happiest couples I know.
