Best Answer

Because Paris was married already, but his wife died, so Lady Capulet knows that he has experience with marriage and that he is going to be a good husband.

That was just made up; it doesn't say anything in the text about Paris having been married before. The reason the Capulets are pushing for a marriage with Paris is that he is nobility-a "county"-whereas although they are rich (they "have the chinks") they are not noble. Capulet in the play is just "Capulet" not "Lord Capulet" as many people want to call him. They are a strictly middle-class outfit.
