I wanted to confirm this was WAD and not a bug. Some rulers are under-age in 1066 and they start married (for example king of Hungary). Is it WAD that these "children" can produce children or they shouldn't be able to?

Well, if they were historically married, there probably isn't much Paradox could do about it unless they wanted to be ahistorical, presumably, and marriages probably are the only requirement for procreation, not including situations of lustfulness.
This is more of a game mechanic question but historically speaking children were prohibited to 'consume' marriage before certain age even though they were formally married since childhood. Apparently the game does not prohibit children from procreating in this situation which is in a sense ahistorical. However my question was whether it is an oversight or a WAD in the game itself (history aside).
How underage are they? 10 year olds have had children in the past. Also, you assume that they were prohibited from consuming marriage - would the whims of a young king really be subject to rigid control?
It's probably just a side effect of how everyone treated as an adult (no regent) can also procreate, but I hardly think it lacks historical accuracy.

Are there any 10 years olds married at the game start? I've only seen 15 and 14 year olds married, and let's face it, by that age the body is able to have children. One difference, though, the age of menarche in medieval times was likely older; as recent as the 19th century the average age of menarche was 17. So there could be some issues with that, but that's getting well beyond the level of gameplay needed to model medieval society.
starting at 1066, there a married couple in Lleira (or somewhere like that) that are like ... 6 and 7 years old?
starting at Alexid (1st April 1081) theres a guy in Brittany thats 31 years old that have a 6 year old wife.

Interesting. It seems that the only condition for procreating is being married but the game fails to take into account that start dates have married children. I am starting to think this is a bug and not WAD.
Disclaimer again: I didn't want to discuss historicity or plausibility of this but simply the game mechanic that is apparently imperfect in this instance.
Another similar one i can think off, is in 1066 Princess Sigrid of Denmark is a widower with a child that she must of gave birth to before she aged to an adult.
