By reading The Bible we can learn about Christ, about His sacrifice to redeem us from sin and what happens to everyone else. It bodes ill for anyone rejecting Salvation; when Jesus returns He will be killing over 6 billion such wretches
(link [RIGHT] goes to post with most recent assessment). and only in The Bible can we learn the reason why. God explains about differences between men and women, there's no room for opinions or interpretations here and nothing to "think" about. If the Scripture in my reply made a point it would be difficult to glean what that point was supposed to be. I'd linked to a useful search in this context:
...and here's the whole passage:
––I Timothy 2:5-15
–5 There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
–6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
–7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle.….a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
–8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
–9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel,
. . . .with shamefacedness and sobriety;
. . . . . .not with broided hair,
. . . . . . . .or gold,
. . . . . . . . . .or pearls,
. . . . . . . . . . . .or costly array;
10 But.…with good works.
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing,
. . . .if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
Poster was for some reason wondering about marriage prospects for eunuchs. Zero. Any marriage contract entered into would be null and void even if with an insane person for obvious reasons and subsequent marriage (after an annulment) would not be adulterous due to no consummation ever having occurred. For a more recent example you could check out the betrothal of Katherine of Aragon to Prince Arthur in 1497 and her subsequent marriage to his brother.
In cases where beslutment is involved any resulting pregnancy is terminated. God is very detailed in this matter and it
is. important because men do not have any requirement to become pregnant for Salvation. If this is not abundantly clear then I doubt any more explicit a description would help and would suspect a mental blockage of some sort. That would be for The Pastors to assess. Here is God's instruction relating to guileful pregnancies:
––Numbers 5:12b-30a
12b-15 [God speaking] If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner; and the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled: Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
16-18c And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD: And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water: And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering:
18d-22 And the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse: And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse: But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband: Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell; and this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
23-26a And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water: And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: And the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter. Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar: And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar
26b-27 And afterward [the priest] shall cause the woman to drink the water. And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
28-30a And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled, or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him.
Has secular education degenerated to such an extent? Do I need to point out that anyone taking a eunuch for a husband would have no alternative to seeking out an iniquitous pregnancy? That even so under God's provision no Redemption would follow? That such a wretch would remain cursed? Of course the "marriage" would never have been real and so adultery is a moot point

.meaning that forgiveness remains a possibility as it was for Mary Magdalene (and others possessed by this type of demon) due to Christ's foreknowledge and the Love He Shares with all who believe in Him.
