FWIW, IMHO, if someone is rejecting you for things that are out of your control, you’re probably better off without them anyway.

My parents are divorced. While I did not go the “traditional” shidduch dating route, my sister did. She ended up marrying a very nice guy from a well-known family and they are still happily married now. Were there some guys who looked down on her because her parents weren’t married (and worse, her father wasn’t frum)? Perhaps there were – but she was far better off without those people.

My rule is this: something that is beyond your control should not be used as the sole reason to say no (or yes, for that matter).

I know it may not seem like it now, but trust me — if someone says no to you solely because your parents are divorced, without even bothering to consider what type of person you are — then you’ve managed to avoid a bullet.
