Folks from this time were so rigid in every other sense, but literally watched people consummate a marriage… why are humans so weird?

I don't know. And ironically we are supposedly very smart

Because such marriages were legal contracts, easiest way out of them was to claim the marriage invalid due to lack of consumation. Therefore a witness was required to ensure the contract terms were met.

Only royal and noble marriages for the most part, and it was due to the stakes of those inheritances. The weirdness stems from the economics of it. A woman was property, and the way to lay claim to her was sex because control of her reproductive capacity was the tool by which bloodlines were determined and validated.

@@veronicashields4405 You're wrong there, women were not seen as property at all, that is Victorian propaganda, at least not in Europe, obviously in the Middle East they were and still are.
