your sentence is unclear in its meaning, do you mean it was normal for a parent of that generation to have five children, or do you mean it was within the parents rights to have five children? if you mean it was normal, a good way to say it would be " he was married with five children , which was common for people of his generation", if you mean it was within his rights you could say, "he was married and had five children , which was his right during that period of time". hope this is helpful

"As was the right for a parent in his generation, he was married and had five children."
I don't know if that's what you were looking for, but that's one way of writing it.
