What age would someone become a Sword of Humakt (or similar Death cult), on average? If mid-twenties or later, there's always the possibility of marriage, having children, then becoming a Sword later. (Though, depending on how seriously your temple takes severing your family ties, you might have to put your wife/husband aside.)
Works for Orthodox Christianity, where marriage is allowed up to a certain level of the priesthood. (And after which one stuffs one's wife into a nunnery.)
