Rooms where women of society would meet possible husbands? I don't know! But I'm determined to figure this out.

Indirectly used for weddings, the "indirectly" is key.
Next hint: Women didn't have to be veiled inside the home. In rooms where they could be expected to be witnessed from the outside, the windows were screened. This is a different hint that the one I gave above.  More detailed, actually.

women would stand in the windows and the men would try to find the woman they wanted to marry?
or, my first thought before i read your clues was that they were all pointing toward Mecca and were used as rooms to do the daily prayers in

 It wasn't like window shopping for a bride all the time. It was also a socially acceptable way for men and women to flirt. Women would stand in the windows, accept flowers, notes, gifts, anything that could be tossed up. And they'd return anything that could be tossed back, including undergarments (I know! But I SWEAR to GOD it's in the history books). Since Rev got it with Dawny's help - I'll give you both 5,000 points!
