435. Do the poor need to get married? 

The first of these verses (24:32,33) of the Quran say not to cite reasons of poverty to stay away from getting married.

The second verse says not to wait to get married until you get rid of poverty. This seems to be self-contradictory. Since these two guidelines apply to two different people in two different circumstances, they are not self-contradictory.

When we get slaves under our control get married, the Almighty would make them wealthier is the message conveyed in the first message.

The message here is if the owners of slaves help them to get married, the Almighty would grant the slaves wealth to carry on their married life.

The message conveyed by the second verse is, if people who are not under, the control of others as slaves need to wait in a disciplined way until arrangements are made for marriage expenses like Mahar etc.

The phrase ‘After marriage He will make them a self-satisfying parent out of them refers to them

Since the two verses are addressing two different issues there is no contradiction.
