unmarriable
Unsuitable for matrimony
Unmarriable describes someone considered unsuitable or unlikely to marry—whether due to personal qualities, circumstances, or social judgment.
The word often carries cruel implications about someone's desirability: Her mother worried she was unmarriable.
It can also describe someone who simply refuses to settle down: He's charming but completely unmarriable.
