[ה'תשל"ב]

שלום וברכה!

באם המדובר שי' בעל מעלות רבות כ"כ – ובחור וצעיר – מהי הסיבה שמסכים לשידוך כשהגיל מבוגר מגיל שלו ועם גרושה?

באם יתברר שהסיבה אינה נוגעת לה

תגמור השידוך בשטומו"צ.

אזכיר עה"צ.

Shalom u'Vrachah! If the person in question, may he live, possesses many virtues—as is said—and is a young man, what is the reason he agrees to a shidduch where the woman's age is older than his and she is divorced? If it becomes clear that the reason does not pertain to her, conclude the shidduch in peace.

I will mention it at the Tziyun.


Summary

The Rebbe advises careful consideration of personal motives in shidduchim, especially when factors like age and divorce are involved. If external reasons are not influencing the decision, one may proceed with confidence, seeking blessing at the Tziyun.
