What is the ruling on marrying off a young man who does not pray, in the hope that his condition will improve, and is it obligatory to inform the wife's family of this after the marriage contract, and what is the ruling on accepting financial assistance from the husband to complete this marriage?

You should have advised the girl and her family and informed them that the suitor does not pray. This falls under the category of obligatory advice and is not backbiting (gheebah), which is forbidden. You fell short by not offering this advice, and you must repent.
