I do not want anything to really do with my daughter and the boy.

I need advice please
Wa ʿalaykumu s-salam.

I suggest you ask the Imam at your mosque.

There are special Muslim women who are trained as advisors on women's roles and duties. Your Imam would know who they are.

In Islam, as a divorcee, you have the right to call on your parents for assistance.
Maybe some of the community of the mosque might want to help,
or perhaps a charity for divorced women.

I suggest that if you decide to help your daughter and her fiancée to marry, just keep the official ceremony as simple as possible.
You could explain that you don't have the funds to pay for it, but they (the couple) could work to earn that money.
Ask each of the invited guests to bring a plate to share. It might not be traditional, but it saves a lot of the costs and yet still allows everyone to feast and have a good time celebrating.
If you don't want all those people in your home, have the celebration in a public parkland.
Then all that's left is the clean-up afterwards - and maybe even that could be done with the good will of everyone helping.

I think you could also, if you really disapprove, just put your foot down and refuse to help them.
Given that they sound fixed on doing things their way, it's up to them to make a success of it or learn from their mistakes.

So you escaped your marriage for some reason (I'm assuming because it was bad)...

And now you're trying to force your daughter into a marriage? (That also might be a bad one?)

That does not sound smart.

Just point out to your daughter that he has no interest in marring you... and if she's cool with that, then leave her be to make her choice and/or mistakes. And be there for when she wants/needs help and advice.

Don't force her into a marriage if they don't want it.

@Aneesah Well you can't afford to put much money into the process, so I wouldn't put any in, since she's been disrespectful and you can't afford it.

I don't know what the traditional items you would do in an Islamic ceremony, but go and enjoy and try to be happy for her.

I'm not going to pretend to understand Islamic traditions, but if you are intending to hold your traditions then you may need to buckle down and power through the ceremony creating the least amount of friction as you can.

If for anything you own peace of mind afterwards.

What one thing you should do is,

Pray to God/Allah to give your daughter a happy, joyful, healthy, peaceful and prosperous married life.

And tell your daughter and her future husband that all you want is that you two to stay happy. When you go to their wedding after telling them with this thought in your mind, I hope things will be better then.
Is this troll bait?
Wasalam, do you have any friends or relatives close to you?

🤔............It's her decision when and who to marry, not yours..........
