# Kiddushin in theory could be accomplished in one of three ways: using money, a written document, or through marital relations.<Ref>Mishna Kiddushin 2a, Rambam (Ishut 1:2), S"A 26:4</ref> However, accomplishing Kiddushin through marital relations is a deplorable practice and is strictly forbidden.<ref>The Gemara Kiddushin 12b records Rav's insistence on not accomplishing Kiddushin with martial relations that he would give lashes to anyone who did such. Rashi (s.v. derav) and Rambam (Ishut 3:21) explain that the reason it is deplorable is because it is licentious. S"A EH 26:4 codifies this as halacha. </ref>
