Is it permissible to take out a loan with slight interest for marriage, especially if the bank is governmental and its profit benefits society, in order to avoid worldly temptations?

It is not permissible to take out a loan with interest (riba) for the purpose of marriage. There is no difference in the prohibition of riba between a large amount and a small amount. The fact that the interest benefits society does not change the ruling, nor does consent to riba make it permissible.
