Yated Shidduch Forum 7/23/21: Is It Ok for a Shadchan To End a Shidduch Via Text?
Question:
As a bochur who has been dating for a while, I feel compelled to ask: Is it not basic kavod habrios that if one side would not like to continue a shidduch, the shadchan should call the other party to inform them? I have been told many times via a brief text from the shadchan that a shidduch that felt promising to me is no longer interested in continuing. This is a difficult thing for boys and girls to hear.
Don’t we at least deserve the decency of a proper phone call from the shadchan? Or do you feel that a brief text is sufficient?
