In China, women who remain unmarried until their late 20s are called “leftover women”.
Personal Comment: In many Muslim countries this is not so unusual, and in many cultures around the world Muslims who may be first, second or third generation and living outside of their original homelands still have this mentality.
The Sahaba in comparison used to ensure that all women of marriageable age (that is old enough) were married and this included widows and divorced sisters.
In Saudi Arabia to this day, the 'cultural' cut off age for Saudi sisters to be able to find a suitable native husband is before the age of twenty-six. The Saudi government have issued legal decrees and enacted social reforms to the effect that Non Saudi men can marry these women so that there is still hope for them to have families in future.
