Your definition of provision is very much high. The true zaahids like Abu Dara and majority of sahabah of Ahlu Sufa would also not be eligible for marriage according to you. Now dont use the madhabs as a crutch, as long as she has a roof over her head and clothes on her back and food to eat theres no other need. Materaliasm is against Islam.
I never gave a definition of providing. In fact you tried to argue that men didn't by using a hadith of the Prophet's wives being hungry. That is insane! The prophet was spreading islam, giving all of his wealth to the poor ect. What in the world is your excuse? Are you not the same man that married a 2nd wife and you don't even provide for her?
But YOU still have to provide that. YOU have to pay rent, adequate food and clothing. If you can't then you're meant to fast.
As for the one who cannot, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allaah enriches them of His Bounty” [al-Noor 24:33]. End quote from al-Mughni (9/341-344).
