A COMMON-LAW MARRIAGE is consummated when the parties live in a manner intended to bring about public recognition of their relationship as HUSBAND AND WIFE.
To consummate an agreement is to carry it out completely, as in a consummated sale. It is to bring to completion whatever was either intended or undertaken to be done.
