Of course. Bill and Hillary Clinton are still married, aren't they?
Do you mean the arachnid with the tail stinger? They mate without genital contact, after which the male runs for his life -- and generally doesn't get away. Seriously! "During mating, scorpion mating organs don't meet. Often, the male grasps the female's pincers in his and they tug at each other (although many do the dance together without touching). During this dance, the male drops his sperm packet and the female takes it up in her genital opening. The manoeuvres may be to find a suitable spot for the male to drop his sperm packet, and to move the female over the packet correctly. The sperm packet has a holdfast to stick to the ground, and hooks which when caught on the female, opens the packet and directs the sperm into her body. They often "kiss": their mouthparts meet, or touch each other sting-to-sting. After she accepts his sperm packet, they disengage, often violently. The smaller scorpion (usually the male) tries to make a quick getaway. Many times, the escape is not successful. "
