Who was Queen Esther married to?
A:The Book of Esther tells us that Esther married King Xerxes (Ahasuerus) of Persia and became queen. The Book of Esther is not regarded by scholars as factual, and the marriage of Esther and Xerxes is not historical. King Xerxes was married to Queen Amestris at the very time that the book says he divorced Vashti and married Esther, and remained married to Amestris for at least the next several years.

Not sure. Did Esther love Xerxes? There is NO reference in the book of Esther that Esther loved the King of Persia - Xerxes.
Did king Xerxes die with Queen Esther?
A:The Book of Esther tells us that Esther married King Xerxes (Ahasuerus) of Persia and became queen, but the story ends with both Xerxes and Esther still alive so the question is unanswerable. Scholars say that the Book of Esther was really a second-century-BCE Jewish novel, so the question can not be answered from the historical record..

How long was Queen Esther married?
A:The Book of Esther places Esther during the reign of Xerxes, who was king of Persia from 486 to 465 BCE. The book says that the first wife of Xerxes, Queen Vashti, was banished in the third year of his reign and that Esther was selected as queen soon afterwards. The Book of Esther does not say whether Esther was queen fortheremainder of Xerxes' reign but, if so, she would have been queen for some 18 years. Scholars say there are good reasons to believe that the story is fictional and that there never was a Queen Esther of Persia. There is no historical record of either Vashti or Esther, and Queen Amestris is accepted by historians as Xerxes' only wife for the first several years of his reign. From a historical perspective, Esther was never really a queen.

We don‘t know from the Megillah. The Talmud said she was 75, based on gematria, although it was totally implausible. The Megillah called her a beautiful young virgin, indicating that she would be around 12 years old……gross, alright? But this is the norm for MENA until the Mandates.
