Slaves may or may not have been allowed to marry by their masters.

One thing to realize is slaves were their master's property and if the master chose to he could breed his slaves as he did his other living property (e.g. animals, plants). This would not involve marriage and whether or not the slave was already "married", that slave would have to have sex with whomever the master chose to breed them with (which may be either slave or free).
