Is marriage obligatory for a man who has does not have any desire for women or children and also does not have the means to support them because of poverty ?
According to the below hadith :
"And he who cannot marry should fast because fasting breaks those unwanted feelings.” (Muslim – Book of Marriage)
So a man who cannot marry , has to fast all his life except for the 2 days of Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Adha in order to enter paradise?
I agree with you (dude above) we're in similar shoes (you are wearing nike shox, right?)
However there's something like 3 billion women in the world, even if 99.9% of families are as you described then that means that there is 0.1% that isn't. Also strive in the way of Allah and Allah will help you.
I cannot get married at the moment for various reasons, one of them being that I hate women however, I still ask Allah in my duas to bless me with a wife for no other reason other than it's a strong sunnah therefore it will bring reward.
And if Allah blesses then it is exactly that - a blessing!. Something which you hate, and ruins you cannot really be a blessing.
If we're both given an apple and I hate apples but you love apples then I've been cursed and you've been blessed. In the same sense, a blessing to one person wouldn't be a blessing to another. Allah knows best.
Now, remember that if you get married it would be to one woman (for the sake of the argument, let's say one). That woman may not have the demanding father in law, that woman may not have all the other things which have brought the reason as to why you don't want to get married. In fact, that woman may be perfect for you. So yes, your argument would still hold true but who cares? You're married.
As mentioned before I hate women, I probably should've written I hate most women, or rather I hate every woman I've ever come into contact with. Fortunately for me I don't want to marry all these women, I don't have to worry about any single one of them and their womenly ways. However maybe I'll come across one who I don't hate and who would be perfect for me, and then that would be all I need inshallah.
in my opinion don't shut it out completely, maybe you're against it but don't shut out the idea of a strong sunnah out completely. Remember it only takes one.
Ask Allah for help and guidance, His guidance is the best guidance and His help is the best help.

You are in similar Shoes with my friends. Not myself.
there is 0.1% that isn't.
You mean he should marry some one from the Slum . What kind of match would that make ?

Which is why it is important to check compatibilty before marriage . marriages often break because both of them find out that they are incompatible with each other . need to check compatibilty by asking questions like these
Home for the aged can take care of people that are old and who are rich enough can afford servants , others might adopt children from orphanages
I suggest you do some research
You should look into the lives and struggles of those living in nursing homes and orphanages. Even the problems of those whose only caretakers are adopted parents and home health aides. Orphans and the elderly often end up in situations where there is no one but an abuser to look after them. That is only why orphanages and nursing homes should be a last resort thing.
I take care of the elderly for a living. These homes are usually understaffed, increasing the likelihood of neglect. I could go on, but I will keep this short. Salaam
