<![CDATA[Spiritual well-being is interconnected with mental health and significantly contributes to health maintenance and recovery from mental illness for all individuals, especially women who marry later in rural regions. The unfavorable perception of rural communities towards individuals who delay marriage manifests in stereotypes such as “old maid,” leading to gossip and labels like unmarketable, selective, playing hard to get, ugly, and very career-oriented. The research aimed to identify the conditions and factors affecting spiritual well-being in rural women who marry later, employing a qualitative phenomenological methodology. Fisher's theory of spiritual well-being was utilized for data analysis, as it offers a comprehensive conceptual framework that accommodates the diverse perspectives articulated in public discourse on spirituality and the viewpoints of historical figures.
