The answer

Many women marry at a later age and are blessed with a prosperous marriage. Therefore, a girl should not despair, but rather be patient, think well of Allah, and supplicate, for Allah is the Provider and has ordained the provisions and lifespans for every human being. There is no need for haste, for "And man invokes evil as he invokes good; and man is ever hasty." One must entrust the matter to Allah, and frequently make supplications, give charity, and seek forgiveness, for these are causes for provision and offspring, as Allah Almighty says: "And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever Forgiving. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [abundance]. And give you increase in wealth and children and make for you gardens and make for you rivers.'" And one should exert permissible efforts and supplicate for the good of this world and the Hereafter.
