What is Non Consummation of Marriage?

Consummation means Vera Copula or Conjunction of two bodies or sexual intercourse between the two -husband and wife. Vera copula consists of erection and intermission or penetration. The marriage implies an implicit right to conjugality or consortium or Sexual intercourse. Right of consortium implies the corresponding duty of each spouse to cohabit with the other. The mutual right to several intercourses continues throughout the entire period of marital life. However, if the very foundation of marriage, namely, the mutual right of consortium is absent, the very purpose of marriage is defeated.

Non Consummation of marriage can be for two reasons:-
1. Natural Cause, called as impotency.
2. Non Natural Cause which is willful refusal to consummate the marriage.
