No one is Antigone's husband in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is engaged to Prince Haemon, only surviving child and heir apparent of King Creon. But the engagement is broken with Creon sentencing her to death and having her buried alive. On her way to her grave. Antigone describes herself as an "unwed wife," which does reflect the view that engagement is one step in an essentially two-step process marriage process in ancient Greece.
