I think one can pay for someone’s wedding as charity.

Wedding is a big if not huge part of our culture. We cannot deny that for some people it holds a bigger purpose than education. Beside when you do charity, your aim is to help the other person with whatever he/she needs help with. Not to judge and lecture about how education holds a bigger purpose than marriage, because you’re not in their shoes.

Exactly!

In a culture such as ours, parents feel its their responsibility to get their children married off as soon as possible so they can start their lives and support themselves. Its a necessity to do a simple nikah - religiously - and allow them the opportunity to live respectable lives. Like giving them a head start in life. Why is that so wrong? Giving someone a chance to maybe become more than what society or you tell them they can be? Creating opportunities…isn’t that what charity is all about? Betterment of life?

I am so shocked by some of the responses in this thread. Its like living in a selfish bubble where the only only ideas that make sense are your own…no consideration for anyone or anything else!
