Protestant answer: yes.

Qualifier: 1 Corinthians 7:2-5 (New International Version, ©2011)

"But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control."

The consummation of marriage is the two partners becoming "one flesh", and if a couple do not mate then they are not married. God told Joseph to marry Mary. There are also numerous references in The Bible to Jesus' siblings.

Did Alphaeus Marry Jesus' mother Mary after the death of Joseph?

No. Mary did not marry after the death of Joseph. On the cross, Jesus gave John the care of his mother, Mary. John Chapter 19 versus 25-27 Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son."Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. (NAB) Mary had no husband or children other than Jesus. Jesus respected Jewish law and would not have broken the law regarding the care of his mother. A husband or other child would have had the responsibility to care for Mary.

Why was Jesus's brothers and sisters considered half brothers and sisters?

Example: Let's say my mother gave birth to me and then something happened to my father and then later my mother married another man and had 3 more children. We would all have the same mother but different father's so we would be half brothers and sisters. Jesus' mother was Mary and Jesus' father was God (by the Holy Spirit). then Mary and Joseph were married and had children. Jesus and his brothers and sisters all had Mary as their mother, but Jesus' father was God and the other children's father was Joseph, making them Half brothers and sisters.
