Question:
During inquiries for a potential match (Shidduch), a relative was suggested a young man described as a "scholar" (Lamdan), while I know he is only average. The woman's family demands to know if he is truly a "scholar." Am I permitted to tell them?
Answer
It is absolutely forbidden. After all, he is a young man who sits and studies, he is simply not a prodigy. They have the ability to clarify this themselves, and it is a “matter that is likely to be revealed” (Milta D’avida L’igloyei); therefore, there is no permission for us to say it ourselves (Chafetz Chaim, Laws of Talebearing, Chapter 9)
