All the documentary evidence we have about the author of the poems was written down centuries after the poems, and most of it is self-contradictory (at least seven ancient cities claimed to be Homer's birthplace). Scholarship can date Homer to the seventh or eight century BC with a reasonable amount of certainty, and the language of the poems seems to be mainly Ionian. Really, that is all we know about the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey.
Was the person that wrote The Odyssey married?
The writer of the Odyssey, Homer, is in the opinion of most of today's historians a fictional character.

So we don't know if he was married even if he did actually exist. But in those days almost all adult Greek males had wives, so it is safe to assume that whatever person(s) wrote the Odyssey, he or they probably were married.
