Dear fellow vaishnava bhaktas

I am working on an article on Kooraththazhwar and I
was wondering if anyone out there can clarify one
matter for me or refer me to authentic sources: it is
regarding his marriage to Andal in Kanchipuram. That
her father had problem getting her married is
accepted: however, I have read two versions for this
state of affairs. One version says that as she was
very educated, there was a taboo in those times
attached to scholarly women, and hence the problem
finding a groom for her. Another version says that
her horoscope indicated that the man she would marry
would meet his death soon after their union, and hence
the difficulty in finding her a husband.
Could someone tell me which version is the right one -
or refer me to some source/book that would clarify
this?
I thank you in anticipation.

Regards
Chitra Chari Sudarshan
