Although the word now has connotations of 'sexually attractive' it's main meaning is 'suitable for marriage by reason of age or maturity' from the Latin 'nubilis', from 'nubere' - 'to marry'
So technically you can have a very unattractive lady who, nevertheless by virtue of her age and maturity is nubile.
