"Wasden also argued that Idaho’s same-sex marriage ban promotes the welfare of children because only opposite-sex couples can procreate. “Same-sex couples stand apart in this regard, because whatever may prompt them to seek civil marriage, it cannot include procreating a child."

 

According to Attorney General Wasden (and, thusly, the state of Idaho), the qualifier for a couple to get married is the ability to procreate.
