Yes, you did the right thing, she is a bad influence.
How about Newark?
I specifically said “doesn’t look to take”.
A true friend always gives and doesn’t look to take.
She said she got married at 17, so she could have had them at 18, 19, and 20.
The way to rectify it is by lowering our expectations — considerably.
Best Ima, that is truly beautiful. All of Klal Yisroel can learn to emulate how you married young and had a shteeb full of kinder by 21. I salute you for your courage!
Pashuteh:
Please provide the citation for said Medrash.
Not only is the divorce rate for second marriages significantly higher than first marriages, but parties are coming into it with previous baggage (and possibly children.)
Ima, a parent can’t decide whether to have the kids or not.
The point is to avoid divorce in the first place. It is avoidable in the majority of cases.
Josh: The OP is referring to the terminology, not the practice.
15 is a bit young these days, but even some US States allow it at that age with parental consent. So it simply depends on each situation. No one is saying everyone should get married at 15. 16 is allowed in most States.
what are the chances that second marriages work?
Not any better than the first. Probably worse, since you are usually marrying someone else who was divorced. (I’m not discussing widowers/widows.) Therefore, it is usually best to stick it out with your first marriage.
“Second, Even gedolim used to play chess.”

The only necessary “qualification” is ones will.
Maybe that is the tu bshvat joke.
The “normal procedure” (which is what you asked for) is to redt it to their parents.
apy, the guy behind the counter isn’t preparing the food.
Two parties in New York can sign a contract stipulating it is to be governed by Chinese law. Then Beis Din will presumably need to research Chinese law to render a psak in the dispute. Sometimes ???? ????? (which may encompass local law) is a factor in what the halacha is, during a dispute. Nevertheless, by default if halacha and secular law conflict in how to rule in a case, halacha prevails.
The barbers seems to cut the peyos area that somehow prevents the peyos from growing longer and thicker than it currently is. What can I tell the barber so that he cuts the hair in a manner that allows the peyos to grow larger and thicker?
I act as if nothing unusual happened. Almost as if I don’t know of their nisoyon. (Rather than avoid them.) So I would acknowledge or say hi to them like anyone else.
Where can I find a barber in the Flatbush area that knows how to let my peyos grow longer?
Hit a sore spot?
eclipse, how do you find all these old threads?
If you’re local you can meet the Rebbe and talk.
