The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, recommended choosing a religious wife because she safeguards the rights of Allah, her husband, and her home. It is desirable to see the woman before marriage, and a suitable age difference between the spouses is preferred. As for the age at which a woman ceases to bear children, it is in her late forties or early fifties, and is called menopause, during which menstruation stops and the production of female hormones decreases.
