Reply To: Using Maaser to pay for dates

Now that is a question being that a father has a responsibility to marry off his son (gemarah kiddushin daf lamed/lamed alef (I am not 100% sure of the exact daf). In regards to a kolel yungerman saving the maaser money for themselves this would have no bearing as to whether one can use maaser for dating (there are those that hold that people who learns in kollel are chashuv k’ani) and in regards to being able to afford a wife (and family etc) that is a whole other parsha and hopefully will at least be discussed on the dates. It has nothing to do with the question being discussed.
