Failure is the goal. If you are constantly producing children you're producing workers for your fields to increase yields and even more important you're increasing the human resources that can be used, taxed, and tithed. Outlawing most drugs makes sex one of the few legal pleasurable activities, especially before modern technological entertainment. Making sure sex is limited to married families has an effect of keeping both parents invested in the children so they are raised to adulthood. Having your life tied to children at a young age has you focusing on providing a good life for your children so you don't want to risk your life revolting against those in power. Those in power just pretended to follow the same rules as others.
