Question

The siblings in my family organized Sheva Brachot together for the youngest brother who got married, with the understanding that all expenses would be paid by the parents with their consent. In the end, some of them decided not to ask the parents for the money for several reasons and decided that we would all pay. I am a rabbi without any extra money, is it permissible to pay from maaser funds?

Answer

Shalom and blessings. If you initially agreed to pay in place of the parents, and the parents are eligible to receive maaser funds, it is permissible to pay your share from maaser funds.
