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:

  1. Adult status (gender specific)
  2. Start of child-bearing years (for female persons only)
  3. End of child-bearing years (for female persons only)
  4. Average expected age at marriage (gender specific)
  5. Average age at retirement
  6. Average expected age at death when of adult status (gender specific)
  7. 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.
