They will be kicked out of the Naval Academy if they are married. If the Academy does not know about it and does not find out about it during your entire 4 years there (i.e. not even letting your friends know) then you should be ok.
in 1845, the US Navy recognized it needed a school to formally education future naval officers and by an act of congress the Naval School was established at old Fort Severn in Annapolis. 5 years later it was re-named the Naval Academy as we know it today.
Depends. If you attend one of the US Military Academies (West Point, Air Force Academy, Naval Academy, or Coast Guard Academy) or you go to school on an ROTC scholarship, you have an obligation to actively serve for five years.

Academy graduates become Commissioned Officers, not enlisted sailors. Though there is a similar contract, an officer can resign a commission, while an enlisted sailor cannot quit. Also, an enlistment is a signed contract between the sailor and the Navy; a commission is given by Congress. The agreement that is signed by a midshipman (whether at the Academy or through NROTC) says they will serve in the US Navy for six years in exchange for the education. If the individual does not meet the requirements for a commission, due to poor grades, poor leadership or other reasons, they can be enlisted to serve the 6 years. Typically there is a 4 year active duty requirement and that the remaining is done in the reserves.
There is no tuition cost to attend the US Naval Academy, or any of the other service academies. In exchange for the education, the graduates serve in the US Navy or US Marine Corps for a minimum of four years on active duty.
