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.
