Any union not open to procreation in principal is therefore not a marriage. Infertile couples (male/female) are still in principal procreative even if not in actuality.
Remember this statement?
Rule: Same sex relationships are not procreative in principal (Ie without recourse to artificial intervention)
As indicated here, by "in principle", you mean without recourse to artificial intervention. Ergo, according to you, infertile couples are not procreative in principle and therefore their union is not a marriage.
