It seem Mara Jade was in mid 40's when Ben Skywalker was born. Far as I know this quite old for Woman to have Childern. Could the Force affect her ageing without effort on her part?

Having children in your mid 40s isn't unheard of.

Why would the Force have anything to do with it? Women can have children in their forties.

Just because women don't generally have children in their 40s doesn't mean they can't. The average age of menopause in Caucasian women is 50.

IIRC woman ferltility stars around 35, if Mara is as old Luke as she 46 when Ben Skywalker was born. IIRC fertility treaments are normaly needed at this age.

1. In the real world. We do not know if this is true in Wars.
2. even if it is, I somehow doubt that something we can do is beyond the possibilities of Wars medical technology...

Sort of, but it's not all that hugely rare for it to happen on it's own. I don't see what the huge deal is.

I accept you're anwers, so nothing major thank and batman the loss of fetility is part of womans ageing prosess so there's no reason to assume thatt's diffenrent in SW and I think fertillity treaments would be against Jedi philosophy.

BTW is there official word how old Mara Jade is relative to Luke.
