Good question.

The NO require it for Baptism too.  Baptisms are down big time.  Many parents never baptized their babies because they don’t want to go pay and attend classes. 

Instead of sex grooming of children in Catholics school, CCD and universities, they should have been teaching about proper courting, chastity leading up to the sacrament of marriage.

1917 Canon 1033 (1983 CIC 1063):
Quote
A pastor shall not omit, according to the varying conditions of persons, to instruct spouses on the sanctity of the sacrament of marriage and on the mutual obligations of spouses and of parents toward children; likewise he shall strongly exhort them to confess their sins diligently before the celebration of marriage and to receive piously the most holy Eucharist.

These days no priest, barring an independent priest, will marry you without these classes.

It goes along with what I have seen from the sspx, requiring their weekly catechism classes prior to receiving first holy communion or confirmation.  We had to go to an independent priest/bishop who tested my children and then gave them the sacraments.
