New Interesting.
It does seem that that's a bit of doctrine that isn't enforced these days. [link|http://www.leaflets.on.ca/marriage.htm|This] page lists 8 necessary conditions for a valid Catholic marriage. #7 is:

7. Who intend to have a family

There are certainly people out there who would like to have children and are unable to. I don't think that the Catholic church demands annulments of marriages in those cases, but wouldn't be surprised if it was different in earlier times.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Scott.

New Thank you for your view
My Uncle got married and he and his wife could not have children. I have a cousin who also has that in her marriage. Nobody annulled their marriages, it was Catholic weddings.

Of course, nothing can prevent them from getting married at city hall, Las Vegas, on a boat, another religion, etc. There are other ways to get married.
