interjection- according to my great-grandmother there were a lot of older singles in her Hungarian town prewar. The only difference was that nobody cared besides for their parents. When her great-grandmother went to Israel as an old woman in order to be buried their, her two unmarried daughters came with her to take care of her. It was the norm for old woman to have an unmarried daughter to take care of them until they died. Today we worry more about the daughter than the aging mother.
