When Persephone eats the pomegranate seeds in the underworld, she is bound to Hades and must return to him each year, leading to the cyclical nature of the seasons. This act symbolizes the cycle of life and death, as her time in the underworld corresponds with winter, while her return to the surface signifies spring and renewal. The consumption of the seeds also highlights themes of choice, consequence, and the interplay between fertility and desolation in mythology.

Hades didn't force Persephone to marry him. Zeus (Persephone's Father) promised her hand in marriage to Hades, but he neglected to inform both Persephone and Demeter (Persephone's Mother) of this. Hades came to claim his bride, which turned into an abduction because Persephone didn't know about it. She was very mad and upset at him for a very long time, but I do believe that she eventually warmed up to him (since due to the eating of pomegranate seeds she spends half of the year with him), and I think she did marry him of her own accord.
