Some thoughts: - You could tighten it up a little. For instance: Parents don't mind their daughters marrying . . . . - Some parents care about character. - People aren't usually "well settled" until they're older. Are you sure parents want their daughters to marry older men?

I am sure that is what parents hope for. It is an ideal, rather than a choice of their own making.
