husbands & wives

Recently my 5yr old was introduced to a single lady friend of mine, who is contemplating moving into a shared accommodation. For obvious reasons, kiddo was curious as to how or why such a situation arises. This is a snippet of our conversation after we reached home ....

kiddo : Doesn't she has a husband?
Me : No baby ... she doesn't.
kiddo : She doesn't like husbands? She likes only to be wives?

I still am not sure what she meant with that question. As of now, I am assuming that she is exposed to the fact that people can choose whether to marry or not.
