If she was 50 at death, she was 25 at marriage. However, this is not really a third tradition about Khadijah’s age, for context suggests that the number 50 is only an approximation. So the tradition that Khadijah was married at “about 25” is actually independent support for the tradition that she was in fact 28. | If she was 50 at death, she was 25 at marriage.
