Matchmaking Fee for a Divorced Couple
Question
This week I arranged a shidduch for a divorced couple. I wanted to know what the custom is regarding the matchmaking fee in this case. I was told that it is double the regular matchmaking fee. Can this be demanded, or is it just a nice custom?
Answer
Shalom Rav
This is the customary payment, and therefore in this case, there is an obligation to pay double.
