Just wanted to back the point that in most chassidish communities the phenomenon of older single girls doesn’t exist, perhaps because the age gap between kallahs and chossanim is on average smaller than in the litvishe velt. I am not suggesting that girls get married older – in the chassidishe velt boys get married younger and can handle the responsibility (with initial support from parents, rabbeim, Chosson/kallah teachers for both chosson and kallah – it’s a learning curve) – it’s a mind set – maybe there is something to learn here.
