Humans could marry robots within the century. And consummate those vows.

In his thesis, "Intimate Relationships with Artificial Partners,"
Levy conjectures that robots will become so human-like in appearance,
function and personality that many people will fall in love with them,
have sex with them and even marry them.

"It may sound a little weird, but it isn't," Levy said. "Love and sex with robots are inevitable."
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.livescience.com/technology/071012-robot-marriage.html"><P>
Levy argues that psychologists have identified roughly a dozen basic
reasons why people fall in love, "and almost all of them could apply to
<A href="http://www.livescience.com/technology/041025_Interactive_Robots.html" linkindex="21" set="yes">human-robot relationships</A>.
For instance, one thing that prompts people to fall in love are
similarities in personality and knowledge, and all of this is
programmable. Another reason people are more likely to fall in love is
if they know the other person likes them, and that's programmable too."
