How solemnized. — Marriage must be solemnized, authenticated and recorded as provided in this chapter, but noncompliance with its provisions does not invalidate any lawful marriage. I.C. § 32-201. What constitutes marriage. — Marriage is a personal relation-arising out of a civil contract, to which the consent of parties capable of making it is necessary.

Proof of consent and consummation. — Consent to and subsequent consummation of marriage may be manifested in any form, and may be proved under the same general rules of evidence as facts in other cases.”
