Don't you think you're being a little misguided?

As I recall chapter 44 doesn't have mutual biting. Kaneki never took a bite out of Touka. I know it's all poetically romantic to have Kaneki consenting to being eaten in part in a church, but the motive or purpose behind it was entirely different. Wether you interpret that as a foreshadowed is up to you, ofcourse. I can't deny it's quite fitting. But the human symbolism of marriage is different for ghouls, it is mutual bitting to them. Which didn't occur until the recent chapter.

Following your perception here; Rize would've already married to Kaneki in chapter 1. Kaneki bit Amon in chapter 25 or 26. Should we add him to the harem? Eto licked Kaneki's eye and Kaneki ate a part of her... marriage? And finally Hide... Hide gave consent just like Kaneki did in your example to let Kaneki feed himself and regain his strength to fight on. Quite romantic, wouldn't you say?

There's too much similarities to that romantic incident to give it the special meaning, that marriage deserves. Therefore I can only see it as a hint, but the real & mutual marriage happened in last chapter and not before that. I can't see it any other way. :/
