What you are asking about is commonly called induced lactation. Through this process of breast/nipple stimulation and a regimen of the proper herbs, most any woman can lactate without becoming pregnant. Most often, the stimulation is provided in the form of a breast pump. This is one of the most important parts of induced lactation. She must use the pump several times a day for 15 to 20 minutes on each breast (use a double pump and cut your time in half!). As far as the herbs, contact your doctor or a lactation consultant to discuss the types and quantities. As far as the most important step in induced lactation, it is the right mental attitude of the woman desiring bring in her milk. Inducing lactation does take a lot of work and a bit of time so having a positive attitude will go a long way to making it happen.

Is it worth the effort? Answer that question for yourself when you look into the face of a healthy and happy breastfed baby who is loved and cared for by its mother.

Women show milk from their breasts when they are pregnant or have recently given birth to a child. Marriage does not cause women to lactate(produce milk). There is no physical change to tell if a man is married. You could look for a ring on his finger or other symbol of marriage though.
