Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
Bunch of young men around the game are continuously getting betrothed to people who would not be fertile and almost not fertile by the time of actual marriage.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Just normal playing seem to have that happen. The easiest way appears to be is to have a landed 12 year old. He will immediately look for betrothal and in many cases it will be a significantly older woman (35+) who will be pushing 40 by the time they are married. Those women seem to almost exclusively come from high prestige dynasties and many times are widows with ruling sons. This has led to multiple branches of my dynasty dying out without heirs.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
Karling old women especially in high demand. I think it is due to the prestige gain having too high of the weight within the betrothal/marriage decision calculation. Leads to men ignoring the age of the bride.

I have attached a save game
Yes

I think the AI vs. AI marriage system is different from the player vs. AI marriage system.

Because if a player would try this, they will decline the marriage, because the women is too old.
They even marry lowborn women, but if a player propose this, the AI declines.

They should decrease the lowborn penalty, because the game keeps generating lowborn spouses, everytime a character gets landed and the new generated spouses are supposed to be their spouse.

And they should increase the age penalty for females.
