Best Answer

Hades did actually get married. The story goes like this:

Persephone, daughter of Demeter and Zeus, was playing in the fields while her mother was tending to the earth. Hades saw her and thought her the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. He came up from a hole in the earth and swept Persephone back to the Underworld. Persephone was lonely and took to wandering the gardens.

Meanwhile, Demeter had gone on a crazy search for her daughter. When she couldn't find Persephone, Demeter went to Zeus, begging he help her find their daughter. Zeus was able to find Persephone and allowed her to come back to her mother as long as she hadn't eaten the fruit of the Underworld.

Unfortunately, Persephone managed to eat seven pomegranate seeds. She had been terribly hungry and said it had onlybeen a few seeds. But Hades- desperate to keep his beloved- replied that the seeds were enough to matter.

Hades and Demeter made a deal. Persephone had to stay in the Underworld for half the year and could go back to her mother for the other half as long as Persephone married Hades. Demeter and Persephone agreed.

And that's how Hades was married.
