They might have some savings. But still it is expected of the bros to support the family. It is expected that the bros prepare gud jehaiz for their sisters so that they can get gud proposals. Parents usually delay the marriages of their sons becuase of this reaon. But sometimes they marry their sons so that the wife can share the financial burden.

Even if the sisters are earning, they are not expected to spend a penny on their wedding in our society. And if the bro’s wife asks to have a contribution from the sister’s savings, she will be considered as an EVIL bahu.

Ok this scenario is different. There is a MAJOR difference if the guy HAS to support the entire family b/c of a total lack of money on their part…versus where he feels obligated even though the parents/sisters have their own money.

The bottom line would be that I would not marry a man who’s not willing to make his wife/future children his 1st priority. What if something happens that prevents me from working? What about when we have kids and I want to stay home and not work? In the case where the family has money but the guy just feels “obligated” to spend his money on them…then the only way I’d consider his proposal if if HIS income (and his income alone) is enough to support his parents, sisters, and a wife/future kids. I would never want to be in a situation where I can’t stay at home with my children b/c my husband feels “obligated” to support his parents/sisters despite them having their own money.
