An absolute piece of advice for a woman who fears for her children from marriage

Question:
He says that he has a sister in Allah who is divorced and has children. Suitable men have proposed to her, but she rejects them, citing her fear for her children, her desire to focus on raising them and devoting herself to them, and her fear of falling short in her duties toward her husband, whose rights are great. What advice do you have for this woman?

Answer:
If she is not afraid for herself and is at peace, not fearing temptation or fornication, there is no harm in her remaining without a husband to care for her children. However, if she fears temptation, it is obligatory for her to proceed with marriage and seek Allah’s help in doing so. Her husband, if Allah wills, will help her with her children, and marriage has many benefits. As for if she has no desire for men and no inclination toward them, and her condition is that she remains with her children, then there is no blame on her.
