Reply To: A third of Litvish families I know, have one or more single daughters 25 and up

In summary: I think it is clear that to embrace the NASI plan to “encourage” boys to date earlier and girls later is dependent on the following 6 conditions:

1) there are more older single girls than boys

2) this supposed discrepancy is attributable to boys marrying girls on average 3 years their junior

3) there are no other significant reasons preventing these older singles from marrying

4) the age differential is unnatural and not based on different rates of maturity or other justifiable considerations

5) there will be no or minimal negative effect in boys marrying younger

6) there will be no or minimal negative effect in girls marrying older

Unfortunately, none of these conditions have been proven true, and most if not all have been proven false.
