الملخص

Women in ancient and modern times, especially in Arab-Islamic societies, have written lines of light in all fields, as they were queens, judges, poets, artists, writers, jurists, warriors, and narrators of the noble hadiths of the Prophet. After the woman was obliged to stay in her home to take care of her family's affairs, she became present in most economic sectors, so we find her in education, the judiciary, administration, and various institutions, including industrial and service ones. It was found that the higher the girl's progress in the career ladder, i.e., the type of job, the more she moves away from the preferred age for marriage; the higher the woman rises in the career ladder, the more she rejects the letter. The more a woman (starting from 40 years of age or more) refuses to marry a man at the age of fifty, as she sees at this age, some chances of marrying a man of her age, i.e., at forty, are still available.
