We study the Shield number of the stable marriage problem, defined as the minimum, over all preference profiles of size n, of the maximum number of blocking pairs attainable by a complete matching. We establish the universal quadratic lower bound $σ(n) \ge \lceil n(n-2)/6 \rceil$ using a rearrangeme
