"A chaste woman will never accept any man other than her husband, even if there be someone equally as handsome and qualified"

Srimad-Bhagavatam

SB Canto 9

A chaste woman will never accept any man other than her husband, even if there be someone equally as handsome and qualified.
SB 9.3.16, Translation and Purport:

The chaste and very beautiful Sukanyā could not distinguish her husband from the two Aśvinī-kumāras, for they were equally beautiful. Not understanding who her real husband was, she took shelter of the Aśvinī-kumāras.

Sukanyā could have selected any one of them as her husband, for one could not distinguish among them, but because she was chaste, she took shelter of the Aśvinī-kumāras so that they could inform her who her actual husband was. A chaste woman will never accept any man other than her husband, even if there be someone equally as handsome and qualified.
