The answer

Allah made the inclination between the sexes a blessing for the formation of families and psychological stability. He encouraged young people to marry in order to achieve the legitimate objectives, and made it obligatory for those who fear temptation. Parents err by preventing their children from marrying through excessive dowries or the belief that marriage hinders education, which leads young people to immorality or psychological distress. It is therefore incumbent upon parents to help their children marry as a protection for them from the Fire, and refraining from doing so is a sin. Furthermore, resolving this dilemma is the responsibility of the entire society, by reducing the costs of marriage and living, and returning to ease and simplicity, so that young people can marry and support their families.
