1-6.11 Conditions on age of principal(s).
There may or may not be certain conditions on
the age of P1. The rule may specify whether the age may be greater than a certain number (of years,
months, weeks, days) and/or less than some such number. Possible constants from which to choose are:
- Adult status (gender specific)
- Start of child-bearing years (for female persons only)
- End of child-bearing years (for female persons only)
- Average expected age at marriage (gender specific)
- Average age at retirement
- Average expected age at death when of adult status (gender specific)
- Average expected age at death when of non-adult status
In the case of a marriage the age of the male principal may be the reference age.
In certain cultures there would also be an important constraint on the female
principal's (wife's) propagated age: total days of female cannot be more than total days of male.
