Are Sansa and Tyrion still Married by law? Game of Thrones fans lets discuss this small detail that was touched in the premier of season 8.
The other way of looking at it is that it wasn't consummated, but it was never annulled to the viewer's knowledge either. In the books she is still lawfully a Lannister so it would be the same for the TV series with her marriage to Ramsay being illegal.
Having to consummate the marriage is a falsehood. Even without doing the deed the wedding would need annulling by royal decree, since they were both married under the King's knowledge. Ramsey's marriage was a sham also, as that would have not been legally binding without the previous annulment. In short, Sansa and Tyrion are still married in the eyes of gods and men. Remember that Sansa was married in the north in front of a weirwood tree which are like the old gods of Game of Thrones.

But it is also a fact that in season 7, Tyrion referred to it as "A sham marriage" to Jon Snow, so I don't think it really matters anymore.
I don't think marriage needs to be consummated to be official. Consider this what if the person for some reason can't bed it. E.g., his body part is given to the lord of light, like Varys, can he never get married?
Back in season 5, Little finger talks about the fact that their marriage wasn’t consummated so by the law of the land, she is no man’s wife.
Sansa and Tyrion were formally and legally married. The marriage was never consummated, and that is grounds for an annulment but legally annulment has to be asked for. Basically if they seek an annulment the lack of consummation means it would almost definitely be granted, but my guess is that process has never been done - particularly with both of them being wanted criminals in hiding from the crown.
So, Sansa and Tyrion still married by law since there is no proof that their marriage was annulled.

The quickest answer that everyone goes to is "no, they didn’t consummate the marriage. That’s how Ramsey was able to marry her." Considering this, technically she has rights to the Bolton’s land and titles. Because she is the last living Bolton in the family. She was officially married to Ramsey and therefore is the final Bolton alive.The other way of looking at it is that it wasn't consummated, but it was never annulled to the viewer's knowledge either.
