>you got the point. exploitation is a shame everywhere.

The impetuosity of youth. I have to say, perhaps the best thing you can do for them both is to say that oyu will ONLY support him if he finishes his studies and graduates. Its an extra year, but I assume a graduate is more likely to be able to earn more money?

Having said that, if the company/organisation he now works ofr is good at promoting people, then maybe he will work hard and get promoted soon.

If he really loves this girl and wants a long successful happy marriage (and Im sure he does) then he will want to do the right tning and be the responsible adult by working hard (at studies or job) to get the income his marriage will require.

And dont forget, Rana, no sooner does he get the better paid job but his wife has a baby.....and they need more money!

It is so difficult to get the balance between giving someone a helping hand up, and allowing them to sponge off you and therefore not become responsible and stand on theri own two feet. What if something happened to you or your job? They cannot rely on your money for more than a short time.
