it is permissible to marry pre-pubescent girls?

Yes, there is no minimum age for a nikah contract to take place between two parties.
Theorically, if me and you want to make the nikah of our 1-year-old children, that would be valid. And as soon as they get mature (baligh), they'd have the choice whether "confirming" such nikah or refusing it.

If so, would this also mean that consummation of the marriage would be permissible?

I've always thought that's conditional to actually having reached puberty, wa Allahu a'lam. But I wouldn't have sources for this. Hope others may help on this.
