ת"ר יתום שבא לישא שוכרין לו בית ומציעין לו מטה וכל כלי תשמישו ואחר כך משיאין לו אשה שנאמר (דברים טו, ח) די מחסורו אשר יחסר לו די מחסורו זה הבית אשר יחסר זה מטה ושלחן לו זו אשה וכן הוא אומר (בראשית ב, יח) אעשה לו עזר כנגדו:
Our Rabbis taught: If an orphan came for assistance in marriage, they must rent a house for him, prepare a bed for him and [buy him] all his [household] objects, and then marry him off, for it is said in Scriptures, “Sufficient for his need in that which is lacking for him” (Deuteronomy 15:8): “sufficient for his need,” refers to the house; “in that which wants,” refers to a bed and a table; “He” refers to a wife, for so it is said in Scripture, “I will make a partner for him” (Genesis 2:18).
Tosefta Ketubot
[If there is both] a fatherless boy and girl want to marry, they should marry off the fatherless girl first and then marry off the fatherless by since a woman's shame is greater than a man's. A fatherless boy that wants to marry, they should rent a house for him, lay out a bed for him, and afterwards marry him off to a wife, as it said, "Enough for whatever he lacks, לו" (Devarim 15:8): לו is a wife, as it is said there: "I will make לו, a helper for him" (Bereishit 2:18)—just as לו said there is a wife, so too לו said here is a wife. (The derash is you first give him whatever he lacks monetarily, then give him a wife based on the order of the verse).
