Why did Persephone get married to Hades?

Answer 1

Hades kidnapped her and forced her to marry him. While in the Underworld, Hades tried to win Persephone's affections. Eventually Hades tricked her into staying with him by offering her a tempting pomegranate to eat. The pomegranate is the food of the dead and if someone eats it, they would have to stay in the Underworld.

Answer 2

yes

---

It is true Hades did abduct Persephone, but I do believe she choose to marry him. There was no force in it.

YES HE FORCED HER. He tempted her into eating some pomegranate seeds from the underworld, thus FORCING her to stay in the Underworld.

Answer 3

Yes. Persephone is Hades' wife, she is with him in the underworld for four months a year, her mother's sadness of her daughter's departure is why winter occures in Greek Mythology. Her return heralds her as the Goddess of Spring.

Answer 4

Hades forced Persephone into marrige because he thought she was beautiful and the gods did not care about if they are getting married to their family members. Persephone did not have a choice to get married after Hades kidnapped her so he would be able to marry her. Even though Persephone refused to get married Hades foced her harder and harder. The more she refused the harder Hades would force her to get married!
