Really, just watch the episode and it will all make sense.

It only makes sense if you assume that when Asuna eventually wakes up she'll be all, "Oh, my father married me to creepy-rapey dude in a purely symbolic ceremony without my consent? Well, I guess I can never be with Kirito again."
Which gets at the real problem with this story line -- Asuna's been objectified in a very literal sense, turned into a comatose body without any volition which Kirito has to save from Sugou.
