I think people are pretty spot on about the married to god excuse the church gives, but from the point of a non-beleiver who understands the laws where just made up by the church heirachy, it comes down to money and property protection.
Much Like the priests, if the nuns don't get married or have children there are claims on assets or money given by the church to the nun/priest and no obligation to look after dependents in the event of death.
