Was the "or" a slip of the tongue? I've never heard about traditional marriage "expiring", no matter how much it lasted, as long as both spouses stayed alive. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_with_the_longest_marriages#Longest_marriages_ever_.28.E2.89.A580_years.29
Time-limited marriages are a thing. An old Islamic thing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikah_mut%E2%80%98ah and something you see pop up sometimes as a suggestion like http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2011/09/mexico-city-considers-temporary-marriage-licenses/
Death could cut it shorter than 70 years, in which case "or" would make sense.
