I would agree, we need to focus on some of the more current matters first. I have no doubt it will happen though OP. People have married pet rocks, and all kinds of stuff already so..
I don't agree young kids being forced into marriage in some countries out in the world. I guess I'm that Murican' pig who doesn't believe 11 year old girls should be married into sex to a 59 year old king. Call me crazy right?
Well, if AI are so well made that they can be considered persons, who knows even having human-like bodies. Why not?
Would need to prove that the A.I has freewill but then youd also have to prove that we have freewill.

Only if they're called Galatea.
I think there is a considerable gap between appearing human like enough, when talking on the phone and being appropriate wedding material.
But that aside... I think that a most advanced AI with an artificial human like body with the ability to love (or at least to 100% simulate love.) could be at some point wedding material. And if people would find happiness with such a partner, then why not.
