I do not think that age is a hindrance to anyone. But then, you said something that caught my attention.

Then when a lady decides to get married to a man way older than her society will tag it as "she has married him for the money"

Let us all tell ourselves the truth and shame the devil. Why will a lady get married to someone that is the same age, or older than her father? If that man were poor, will the lady marry him? C'mon, let's not justify our actions here and tell ourselves the truth.

Look at Regina for example, what do you think? Young lady. But she got married to who? An old man. Why? Love? Lol. Dey play. He's a damn billionaire my dear.
