Charlotte is getting old, at 27, and is afraid of becoming an old maid, dependent on her family and without a home of her own. She is aware of the fact that Mr Collins has faults, but she is not romantic and does not mind marrying without love.
Charlotte Lucas chose to marry Mr. Collins for financial security and social status. As an older unmarried woman in a society where marriage was expected, she saw Mr. Collins as a practical choice to secure her future.

In the Bennet's case, if Elizabeth and her sisters didn't marry well, and their father died, then the entire estate would have been passed to the closest male relation: Mr Collins. The family would have been turned out onto the streets.
