What about a guy who wants to get married, but the only way he can get married is living at home?

So how do we strike a balance between living with the in laws and or postponing marriage because of that reason?

That's tough subhanAllah, right? Because some might argue that if you're not in a position to be able to even like afford a small apartment, are you really ready to get married?

But then what about a medical student or what about somebody who's about to get into residency and doesn't have a salary now or, but the potential is there.

It's tough. Each scenario is different. As difficult as it sounds, if you could wait, I would wait until you have that ability.

I've sometimes seen wonderful parents who, have kids who are in medical school and they'll say, look, for the time being, we'll pay for your apartment, and if families plan in such a way where they don't drop like a hundred G on the wedding and actually plan out that money where they can give the couple like rent for a year or so, even if it's a small, humble apartment.

While they establish themselves alhamdulillah, I think that would be the best route.
