You may have a point there, maybe king Ahasuerus did wait for Esther
to finish college, and even get an advanced degree in child
psychology and home economics, before offering her his hand.

being a childless widow, Mmm....can one be childless above 14 years

Bear in mind that many of the biblical heroines, Rebekah, Rachel,
Lea, Ruth, Esther, were just little girls (if I correctly remembers
Rashi says Rebekah was 3 years old when she married Isaac, then she
was "childless"). The fact that Ruth was still a childless widow at
the time, means she was about 14 years old. How old was Naomi? I
would say about 30.
