Ahh, but now you are mixing biology with the very human concept of marriage.
As I understood your statement, you wanted a reason
other than religion. Biology exists outside religion.
From a purely biological standpoint, your assumption would be right - for those who are sterile, they can not procreate. There would be no biological advantage to do so. But, since humans do crazy things like fall in love, the basic biological urge to mate with the best fit goes out of the window.
