?Which word?
married to, not married with
Say be married to sb or get married to sb. The verb marry takes a direct object with no preposition: 'She married a doctor.'
Married के बाद to आता है, with नहीं आता। इसलिए 'married to a doctor' सही है। Marry एक transitive verb है और इसके बाद कोई preposition नहीं लगता, जैसे 'She married a doctor.'
§Grammar and usage
'married with' is wrong; use 'married to'.
'married with' गलत है, सही 'married to' है।
