Required Field for 2.0.2

[The Wizard]

Hello:

I found the code to add a birthdate select box to my Register.template.php and now I would like to make it a required field on registration. Can anyone post the code to make it required? Below is the select box code I added.

Thanks

global $context, $txt, $modSettings;
    if (cache_get_data('intuitive_age', 120) != null)
    {
       $years = cache_get_data('intuitive_age', 120);
    }
    else
    {
       $years = array();
       $base_year = 1904;
       $current_year = date('Y');
       $count = $base_year;
       $age = 0;
       $ages = array();
       while ($count < $current_year)
       {
          ++$count;
          $years[] = $count;
       }
       $years = array_reverse($years);
       foreach ($years as $year)
       {
          $ages[$year] = ++$age;
          $year = array();
          $year[$age] = $year;
       }
       cache_put_data('intuitive_age', $years, 120);
