Antigone never married. She was planned to wed Haemon but Creon sent her to be locked away as punishment. After Antigone died in Haemon's arms he committed suicide as he told his father he would do because he was so in love with her.
In Antigone (Sophocles) Antigone hangs herself in the final stage of the play, inside the cave. In the Legend of Antigone through Mythology She married Creons Son, and He killed himself and Antigone.

Antigone's mother is also her grandmother. Her father Oedipus, married his mother and bore Antigone and her sister, Ismene. Thus, Antigone blamed her death and her destiny on the curse of her parents marriage.
Haimon's main concern is that he be with antigone and that his father would let them be. Creon main concern is that haimon and antigone does not get married.
No, Antigone never gets married in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is engaged to her first cousin, Theban Prince Haemon. But the engagement is broken by Theban King Creon, Antigone's uncle and granduncle and Haemon's father. Antigone deliberately breaks the recently issued edict against burial of the disloyal Theban dead, and Creon sentences her to death. She and Haemon end up committing suicide.

Antigone has no children to name. She's engaged to her first cousin, Haemon. But she dies before she can get married and raise a family.
Oedipus, the mythical king of Thebes, is Antigone's dad. The irony though, is that since Oedipus married his mother, he is also Antigone's brother. You can read all about this in the Three Theban Plays by Sophocles.

Creon threatens that he will kill Antigone before his son. This is particularly threatening because Creon's son has a passionate love (eros) for Antigone and they were going to get married.
The fate of Antigone as engaged to be married is an example of dramatic irony in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is engaged to be married to her first cousin, Prince Haemon. But their engagement is ended with Antigone's being sentenced to death by King Creon, her uncle and intended father-in-law. Instead, Antigone's final resting place within a remote, walled up cave is described, dramatically and ironically, as her marriage bower. Antigone's final outfit for her eternal imprisonment is described, dramatically and ironically, as her wedding dress. Antigone's final march to her cavernous prison is described, dramatically and ironically, as her wedding procession. Antigone's final breaths as the air is used up in the cave are described, dramatically and ironically, as her eternal marriage to Death.
Prison and wedding bower are the metaphors that Antigone uses to describe her tomb in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is engaged but not yet married when she processes to her death by live burial. She mentions that her cave will serve as the bridal bower she will share with Hades the Underworld god. She notes that at the same time it never ceases to be her final prison.
