Oooh, Matron!!

One interesting (if somewhat salacious) point to come out of the current discussion concerning the possibility of same-sex marriages, is the question of non-consummation.  This has always been a ground for the annulment of a "traditional" marriage, but the question has been raised (and if same-sex marriages ever become accepted in law, sooner or later it will crop up) - what constitutes the consummation of a same-sex marriage?  Plenty of scope for the imagination to run riot, but it is a serious question which will probably have to be addressed at some point.
