Why this meaning was chosen
The sole family occurrence was reviewed on one bounded page; it is the only frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Quran 24:32 commands the community to arrange marriage for ٱلْأَيَامَىٰ among them, then coordinates suitable male and female dependents. The conservative core 'unmarried person' does not narrow the group by sex or earlier marital history. The target is the definite broken plural accusative object of أَنكِحُوا.
