[Avodah] Whom to Marry

[Richard Wolberg]

In response to the following post:
"one should rather marry a non Jew
than not keep taharat hamishpacha - and the nafka mina was whether one
should try to be meshaddech two nonobservant Jews - or steer a
nonobservant Jew towards a non Jewish mate - and this RW poster was
insistent that it was preferable to steer the non Jew towards a non
Jew, and was against much of the activity of others for Jewish
shidduchim.
Therefore, the question does (and did) arise, and has a nafka mina
lehalacha for those who actually care about halacha
(most of the people on the list were shocked by the position taken -
but it is the extreme version of going by the book and determining
what is the most extreme issur involved...)"

I believe something is being missed here. If two non observant Jews marry,
there's at least the hope that one or more of the children may some day become
baalei teshuva.
