Well, first off, in 1st Century Palestine, there were no "rabbis" as we currently understand them (as leaders of synagogues, etc). But that's neither here not there.
There is nothing unreasonable about the statement that any given man in 1st Century Palestine was likely to be married. It is unreasonable, though, to say that Jesus Christ, the best-attested personage from antiquity, whose family was venerated to the third or fourth generation, would have had a wife that nobody knew about.
It is equally unreasonable to say that the Son of God, who overturned the old order, would be bound by social conventions.
