Wtf even is "late" marriage? There's never "too late" of a time to get married....like...?

Socially late.
Late enough that people are "starting to ask questions why she's unwed".
Late enough that she's labelled a spinster.

Late enough that it is perceived as a rebellion against the standards of gender roles.

It was always my dream to own property as a spinster.

I got married socially late but ruined my chances. Now I just own property as a stupid wife.

Well, don't be a stupid wife then. Get a book and become a smart wife.
