Lara Raith marriage consummation

So long as any partner of a Whamp wasn't in love -- or took care to "eliminate" the protection by having sex with someone else -- there's no problem (other than Whamp's inherent low fertility).

Well, that also would assume the baby is Harry's in fact and not just in name

Before that, surprise, but for consummate a marriage you have to actually touch your partner. That is why I said the protection will be what they need to not consummate the marriage, and will use it as an excuse to divorce. (if they marry at all).

I don't think that will suffice.
Mab: "Easily solved, my Knight. Find some wench and tumble her. There are many who are willing. If nothing else, I can take you back to my own bower before the wedding is consummated... what is that mortal tradition, again? Ah yes: ius primae noctis, right of first night."
Conspiracy Theorist:
And she would.
And put it on Winter PBS like last time.

Oh, absolutely!
But honestly, I don't think Mab particularly expects this marriage to go through. I think she's using it to put extra pressure on the Raith household (since one of their key personnel was recently found to be Nemfected); and extra pressure on Harry, to make him a more-effective weapon.
So, she'll threaten him; and if he doesn't find a way out from under, she'll likely carry through with the threats. But she isn't really invested in that outcome.

IIRC that was all of Faerie, not just Winter.
I think that was a 1-time special, though -- the ascension of her new Knight.
