Hello anonymous,

Neither is correct. I made some corrections to your sentences as follows:

I know Hari wants to give a big party for his marriage. It’s a good thing, but the question is if/whether he will be able to afford it.

I know Hari wants to give a big party for his marriage. It’s a good thing, but the question is: Will he be able to afford it?

I'd say this.

I know Hari wants a big [marriage party / wedding reception]. It's a good idea, but the question is whether he can afford it.

From what little I've seen about it, 'marriage party' is the phrase in Indian English while 'wedding reception' is the phrase in American English.
