Consummation is not a legal requirement in India, but it can have legal consequences. Here are some things to know about consummation in Indian law:      Annulment A court may annul a marriage if it finds that it was not consummated.     Voidability Non-consummation can make a marriage voidable. For example, under the Special Marriage Act, a marriage can be voidable if the respondent willfully refuses to consummate it.      Divorce A wife's refusal to consummate the marriage can be grounds for divorce if it amounts to mental cruelty.     Incapacity If a couple was unable to have sexual intercourse at the time of marriage but were unaware of it, the marriage may be eligible for annulment.     Virginity tests A trial court may reject a request for a virginity test if it finds that the test is not a reliable indicator of sexual intercourse
