What is the best age to get married for a woman? I keep reading that it's best if women are between 25-30 because the rate of divorce increases after 32 by 5% I think. What if we break up and I never find anyone who is suitable for me who is at the right age and doesn't already have a family?

You cannot plan life in this way - according to statistics and best times. Life happens when it happens, and you get married when you're ready and have met the right person. I did not marry until I was 48, but now I need a divorce, which I did not plan on. I've never heard of the divorce rate increasing after a certain age.
Why not ask instead why are you having cold feet, what are the issues that are holding you back, and what family issues need resolution first?
And marriage is not the end all to be all in life. There's far more than just marriage in life. If you're dragging your heels, maybe there's a good reason for that. Don't feel pressured just because of an age.
