The answer

You are permitted to marry if your brothers grant you permission to delay repayment of the debt, and thereafter you strive to earn money to support your family and repay your debt. Marriage is one of the means of sustenance if it is for the purpose of preserving oneself. However, if they do not agree, you must first repay their debt. Exercise patience and chastity until Allah enriches you, seeking help through fasting, lowering your gaze, avoiding places of temptation, associating with the righteous, engaging in beneficial activities, and sincerely supplicating to Allah to purify your heart, protect your private parts, and facilitate a lawful marriage for you.
