"Another place the "marriage is for procreation" argument doesn't wash is marriages between people past the age of procreation. There doesn't seem to be any barriers to getting married for those in rest homes or retirement communities (other than complaints of children worried about their inheritance that is)."
Actually this prohibition was routine in nursing homes until fairly recently - mid-eighties or so. Even married couples were given single beds, or separate rooms (with other roommates!). The idea that someone's parents' peers might have the urge to be sexually active ticked off way too many people. One of the many things I don't understand, don't want to understand, about my fellow humans.
