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.

There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls

Jen's pooor thread 
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

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?

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

I have a feeling that this is one of those laws thats there...but not really enforced. Who goes to court over lack of sex?

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

I have this feeling the textbook is really over-simplifying the law, or only taking part of it or out of context or something. I mean, in order for a marriage to be legal, you have to be living as married people.
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.

Well they could always live common law I guess. Or they could lie and say that they did have sex. I don't really think that anyone is gonna challenge it.

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.
