When did Cleopatra marry Mark Antony?
Cleopatra "married" Marc Antony in 37 BC. However some scholars think this was a symbolic "marriage" cementing their political alliance. Antony probably thought so too, considering he knew that a marriage between a Roman and a foreigner was not recognized and the fact that he was already married to a Roman wife, Octavia, who was Octavian's sister. He never even divorced Octavia until at least five years after his "marriage" to Cleopatra.

If by "mate" you mean Marc Antony's wives, he had four legitimate ones and Cleopatra. His Roman wives were Fadia, Antonia, Fulvia and Octavia. Cleopatra was a question.
