I think you are encouraged in islam to marry younger and virgin girl. There is hadith in bukhari, dont know the exact words but hazrat Muhammad p.b.u.h was encouraging a sahabi to marry a younger and virgin rather than a widow above your age, as young girls are cheerful, playful and full of life. I think war times, necessiates marraige with widows. You can marry a widow if you want to financially support her, thats why i guess four marraiges are allowed in islam. Holy prophet’s marraige with hazrat khadija was an exceptional marraige just like ayesha’s. The frowning upon second marraige is sub-continental phenomenag

But as far as I know, all of Prophet’s wives except Hazrat Ayesha (RA) were widows.
