Tzitz Eliezer 10:42 says that a woman's fulfilment of "lasheves yatzarahh"
is sufficient grounds to leave Israel to find a husband.

Since that's "what people say" and I never heard of a conflicting pesaq,
I had just taken it for granted that the ZE's position is consensus.
(Rather than a Daas Yachid that the hamon am thinks is normative.)
