Is it permissible for the father of the suitor to cover the expenses of the marriage and provide for the couple until the suitor finds a job, or must the marriage be delayed in this case?

It is permissible for the husband's father to spend on the couple after marriage if he is wealthy and capable, and the son is in financial difficulty. This is an obligatory expenditure for the father until his son is able to earn. The son, however, must strive diligently to find work. A man must provide for those whose maintenance is incumbent upon him, and whoever is responsible for someone's chastity is responsible for his wife's maintenance. Similarly, a wealthy father is obliged to marry off his son if he is capable.
