How do you edit who marries whom and if they have children?

[Charge]

character_record		Lucilla, 	female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 28, alive, never_a_leader
character_record		Paulina, 	female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 12, alive, never_a_leader

relative 	Tiberius Brutus, 	Galla,		Aulus Brutus,	Amulius Brutus,	Vibius Brutus,	end
relative 	Aulus Brutus, 	Hostia,		Paulina,	Titus Brutus,	Oppius Brutus,	end
relative 	Amulius Brutus, 	Lucilla,		Cassius Brutus,	Cornelius Brutus,	end

This is placed in descr_strat at the bottom of each faction' entry.
character_record as you see determines what family members are present at the start of the game (including childs). Relative section is who married with whom, and what children they have.
relative ...... father,.... wife, ..... children,.....
Be careful with age though - game doesnt like unrealistic values...

That is how to edit before game...if you meant mid-game or during a campaign you can't. Characters are generated randomly based on the events that happen during a turn. For example, if you have few family members and a large empire you may see a growth in child-births and adoptions. Also, traits like Fertile and ancillarys like physician effect the chance of having children.
