For those inquiring, working men marry after about 5 years. Most of my family members go on to college, work and pay their way and then marry. It’s silly to think that the average 19 yo can earn enough to support a family. Take some time and view the public areas of Imamother. Women are shopping for multiple gowns for siblings and relatives of the bridal parties. And at the same time others in bungalow colonies are begging for food and $$.
As to the number of children I married off, I’m infertile due to cancer. My husband and I met when we were both in chemo (and graduate school). I have always been generous with wedding presents to relatives. In our family cash gifts are not used to pay off wedding costs since our weddings are simple affairs usually paid for by the brides and grooms. No gowns no makeup artists etc.
