[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The requirement is that you are open to life, if that’s the correct term. In theory you could be 70 and “open to life”. It’s why using birth control is not okay, it is the active use of external means to stop reproduction, meaning you aren’t open to creating new life. Not passing judgment on whether this makes sense or seems silly, but it’s an explanation. [/quote] that doesn’t speak to OP’s question, which is about the age requirement of a valid marriage and whether it is connected to fertility. Canon law does address minimum ages, but as to fertility, it only requires the ability to have reproductive intercourse, even if there is some doubt. Infertility, unless known and concealed prior to marriage, does not invalidate or prevent a marriage. Using birth control (unless the intent is to never have children) would not invalidate a marriage, even if it is against teaching.[/quote]
