non-consummation

Union never completed

Non-consummation is the failure to complete a marriage through sexual intercourse.

In many legal and religious traditions, a marriage that has never been consummated can be annulled on those grounds: She sought an annulment based on non-consummation.

The term appears almost exclusively in legal or ecclesiastical contexts.
