`1`Consummation Of Marriage `2` "Legal Lexicon":
CONSUMMATION OF MARRIAGE - The first time that the husband and wife co-habit together, i.e. engage in intercourse, after the ceremony of marriage has been performed, is thus called. The marriage, when otherwise legal, is complete without this; for it is a maxim of law, borrowed from the civil, law, that consensus, non concubitus, facit nuptias. --b-- |
