לא תקח אשה לבני
because he is in the freezer
Even if the freezer תקנה might have been a noble idea
when it started. (Mori V'Rabi holds it's wrong to force Bachurim
be עובר על דברי חז"ל)
However, by now it undoubtedly is part of the cause for adding
to the misery of the thousands of parents who have daughters
to marry off.
Widening the age gap an additional 4-5 months creates
hundreds of Agunos, girls who will never get married.
Every Shadchan for Yeshivish families will tell you that in
his/her inventory there are at least 4-5 times as many girls
than boys.
Narrowing the age gap between boys & girls, will increase the
Shadchan's inventory of boys and will enable more girls to get married.
IMAGINE If all the Bachurim stuck in the freezer were released
right at the beginning of the Zman and added to the inventory
of the Shadchanim how it will improve the situation.
The מהרש"א explains the Gemoro (Shabbos 31)
that לאחר מאה ועשרים one of the first questions one
will be asked is ? עסקת בפריה ורביה it doesn't say קיימת
but עסקת because one will be asked if he was busy
helping others get married.
All those who want to be able to answer כן,עסקתי בפריה ורביה
should get involved in helping to solve the catastrophic
Shidduch crisis.
