Broken Engagements
Question
My Neice had 3 broken engagements. 2 of the engagements had a Vort. All 3 engagements were broken off by the chosson’s family. Does my Neice have to mentioned the 3 engagements on her shidduch resume? Also does she have to tell any future Chassan about the previous engagements? if she has to tell a future Chassan, when is she obligated to tell him?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
She is indeed required to inform the shadchan/chattan about the broken engagements (either verbally or on a resume) before the first date.
