Marriage without any sex....ever

No judgement before anyone starts on me.
Has anyone ever known a couple in this situation and has it worked out?
I know a couple who are due to get married but have never been intimate with one another (Except a kiss here and there ) . The woman sees the fiance as more of a friend and he is happy with that. She is not assexual but most likely autistic.

Well it would only work with someone who also didn’t want sex and that would be a coincidence. You get to know someone first and that kind of question is something you ask later on. So it will probably be really hard to find anyone

If they are happy i'm not sure what business itis of yours or anyone elses.

I have re read your post. I think one of them might be secretly gay or maybe they have confused the different kinds of love and have never met anyone they love romantically.

Not personally - a friend's friend but it ended up in an annulment.

Are they technically married if it isn’t consummated?

If they are both happy with jt, then that's should be fine. Hopefully they have had the conversation around having children

I guess the vows are enough for marriage?

We are happy together and I don't like sex
I struggle to understand why there is such emphasis on it in a relationship.
We do everything together, enjoy each other's company, care for each other and enjoy the same things.

I suppose the age group has a lot to do with it.

In the UK yes, but failure to consummate can be grounds for an annulment.
