I don't personally see anything wrong with an older woman marrying a younger man. as long as they are both in love and committed, and the guy isn't too young himself (as it's a fact men mature later than women!), then i think it's lovely!
I can see why in the Muslim culture, it may not be as common. I am not Muslim, but have a Middle Eastern culture, so our values are very much the same. Alot of Middle Eastern people see the woman as a bearer of children for their son, so this is naturally why they would prefer their son to marry a younger woman (sometimes significantly younger). I know that an older woman can obviously have children aswell, but I guess a younger woman for enhance the chances of a big family!
Thats my thought (not the last bit, just how people are!).
