Is helping a committed young man get married considered an ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), such as through a bequest of one-third of the deceased woman's gold?

"Continuous charity ( Jariyah) is an endowment whose benefit endures and whose rewards continue for its giver. It includes building mosques, charitable endowments, printing beneficial books, and repairing roads. Every good deed whose benefit continues for a Muslim after their death is considered continuous charity. However, helping a young man get married is a great reward, but it is not continuous charity."
