Well what if both people getting married are completely devoid of sexual organs? Like... they got into a car accident, and lost everything below their torso. Everything. They're hooked up to machines for bowl evacuation and all that. Are they not legally married?

In this case I doubt they'd actually be able to meet one another...I have my doubts that they'd even be alive. But in answer to question, no they could not be legally married.

Wouldn't that violate their right to be married? Why should someone without the ability to have sex be unable to get married.
Or, for that matter, a couple who meet, fall in love, but neither member has any interest in sex (for whatever reason)? Should they be denied their legal right to marriage just because they choose not to sleep together?

Taking Sinead's example, she couldn't get Soozy into Canada by 'marrying' her, because there would be nothing in their relationship that would be like a marriage. Of course, bringing a spouse from another country would be the only reason this law would even exist, me thinks. However, I'm pretty sure you have to live with each other for two years after the marriage, so I don't think just having sex once is good enough.
Rusty wrote:It only said that the marriage must be consummated at least once to be legal. It's like the reason the courts can offer annulments, as well as the church. If you never consummated the marriage then it can be annulled.
