Consummation of marriage refers to the first time the married couple engages in sexual intercourse. A marriage is complete without this if it is otherwise legal. On the other hand, if a marriage is unconsummated that can provide grounds for divorce or a civil annulment if one of the partners is unhappy about the situation.
