You are reading a tafsir for the group of verses 26:171 to 26:172

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِ‌ينَ

Except an old woman among those who remained behind. - 26:171

The word 'old woman' is used for the wife of Sayyidna Lut علیہ السلام who was an infidel and was agreeable to the unnatural act of the people of Lut (علیہ السلام) If the wife of Lut (علیہ السلام) was an old woman then the use of this word for her is quite clear, but if she was not old, then perhaps she was called 'old woman' for the reason that the prophet's wife is regarded like the mother of the Ummah, and to call a woman having many children as old is not unlikely.
