Reply To: Shidduchim Between Litvish Girls and Chasidish Boys

As far as the arguments that there is too great a cultural difference between Chasidim and Yeshivish families for cross shidduchim to be viable, you are overlooking the fact that among both the Chasidish world and the Yeshivish world there’s such a wide disparity *within each* as far as cultural norms. On different ends of both spectrums there are certainly both Chasidim and Yeshivish that are not that far off from each other; and perhaps even very close to each other, culturally and religiously. Sometimes the biggest or even only difference might be levush (attire).

Aside from the above point, suppose there was a notable cultural difference between the two… If the risk is marrying someone with some cultural differences versus the risk of never getting married, I’m certain many singles and their families will choose to marry with cultural changes rather than growing old alone and never marrying.
