Before McGonagall’s stunt, I was worried the marriage would require consummation to be legally binding.
This doesn’t strike me as much of an issue. Considering what was at stake it would be an utterly trivial cost and a requirement comparatively easy to fulfill. Just another taboo tradeoff.
“Let’s see… is drastically underage sex with my girlfriend better than her death by torture?”. Death by torture really makes decision making easy at times!
“I told you, no kissing!” and then some.

Well, yes. I mean, a canonical purpose of torture is to simplify decision-making.
