But that’s a religious view. I’m sorry, but it is.
I married my second wife after having a vasectomy. Should I have not been allowed to marry because I wanted to concentrate my parenting on my two sons from my first marriage, which I did not want to leave?
Civil marriage can be about all kinds of issues, from protecting assets to wanting a person to be able to give end of life support/have power to help you if say you were in the hospital.
One doesn’t have to be married to procreate.
There are legal reasons that one might get married that have absolutely nothing to do with procreation.
Religious marriage is one thing. Civil marriage may be completely different.
This woman as a government agent should not be putting her religious views onto others who are completely valid in getting a civil marriage.

You intentionally damaged your ability to procreate; you violated your own bodily integrity. I pass no moral judgment on whether that's a right or wrong thing. I simply make an objective statement of what is. And it is irrelevant. If your damaged bodily integrity were restored, you would be able to procreate. I reiterate: The capacity to procreate may be diminished (even to zero) in certain men and women; age, illness, injury and defect combine to have this effect. Regardless, procreation is at the center of male-female sexual union. A healthy man and a healthy woman can procreate. The inability of two men to procreate with each other, or of two women to procreate with each other has NOTHING to do with their bodily integrity. It is against their nature to be able to procreate. I reiterate: There is no physical act two males can do with their bodies that will produce a baby. There no physical act two females can do with their bodies that will produce a baby. That is simple biology.

People may do many things for bad reasons; that does not alter the nature of the thing they are doing. Marriage is fundamentally about procreation. It exists for the purpose of providing an optimal environment for raising children.

People do many things that are not optimal. This is a problem. Pretending that they are doing things optimally when they are not is stupid.
putting her religious views
Question begging is a logical fallacy.
