and again, there is nothing in civil marriage licenses that says the two bodies must being willing or able to procreate.

It simply is not a civil issue that procreation must be the the end result of marriage. It is only a religious ideal that this must take place.

There is nothing in civil laws that says a person must be willing to follow a religious law in order to get married.

In a church? Yes, of course they can make their rules.

What about an 80 year old couple that wishes to get married? Can they be denied because they physically cannot reproduce? What about a person sterile from birth?

I would fully support this woman if she was a member of clergy telling people they can not get married in her church.

But that is not what this is. These are people who are applying for a marriage license under civil laws, and none of these civil laws require procreation or desire ot procreate as a prerequisite of getting a civil marriage license.
