marriable

Fit for wedlock

Marriable means suitable or eligible for marriage.

The word describes someone of appropriate age, status, or qualities to be considered a potential spouse: She has three marriable daughters.

It's somewhat old-fashioned, appearing more often in historical fiction or discussions of traditional marriage customs than in contemporary speech.
