Why did the seeds make Persephone become Hades wife?

It's a common theme in Indo-European mythology- the fruit of the dead binds you to their land. The pomegranate seeds were, in a word, cursed; once she ate them, Persephone had to stay. But I think she and Hades had already married by that point.

The best non-Greek examples of the fruit-of-the-dead taboo occur in Celtic myth- if you wandered into the Otherworld, the worst thing you could do was accept or offer a favour or gift, or eat anything. Doing so was not necessarily fatal, but came with several consequences: 1) you would never return home; 2) you would return but it would be several centuries later, a la Oisin son of Fionn macCumhaill; or 3) you would forget who you were, where you were from, and what you were doing in the Otherworld to begin with, thus leaving you at the capricious mercy of your faery host.

Hades was regarded as the master of dreams, especially those believed to have been sent forth by the ghosts of the dead. The two-doored gate of the dreams (false and true) was said to lie in Hades' realm.

He was the god of potiant curse-oaths and master of the Furies, goddesses of vengeance against those who had committed a crime.

Hades was invoked and propitiated in the magic of Necromancia, the summoning forth of the ghosts of the dead. Hades and Persephone presided over the oracles of the dead (necromanteia) and the rites of necromancy (necromancia), the summoning of the ghosts of the dead.

Hades was god of funeral rites and mourning. Those who had not received proper burial rites were refused entry to the Underworld.

Most well remembered in the modern world is that Hades was the king of the underworld and ruler of the ghosts of the dead.
