Could We Consider Marrying Orphans to Ease the Financial Strain of Marriage?

Assalamu Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. I've been thinking a lot lately about the struggles many face with high mehr and wedding costs. It makes me wonder about those who are less fortunate, like orphans. Where are they in all this? Do they find it even harder to get married? Maybe instead of only seeking partners from similar financial backgrounds, we could open our hearts to the orphans among us. They deserve loving homes and fulfilling marriages just like anyone else. What do you all think? Are we, as a community, doing enough to support them in building their own families?

My cousin married an orphan, and Alhamdulillah, it's been a blessed union. It's definitely something more should consider.

I've never thought about it this way, but you're right. The financial pressure shouldn't lock people out.

It’s a heavy responsibility, but a noble one. The community should definitely facilitate this more.

Mashallah, this is a beautiful point. We often forget about orphans when discussing marriage. Opening our hearts to them could solve two problems at once.
