it is not a hard & fast rule..use of preposition "to" (Question: 144419.1 )

He has married her.
He is married to her
She is married with two children.

All cases are correct.

Question:
DIRECTIONS: Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark 'No Error' as your answer. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any)
He is married (a)/ with a twenty five year old girl (b)/ from a village (c)/ in the northwest. (d)/ No error (e)
Options:
A) (a)
B) (b)
C) (c)
D) (d)
E) (e)
Solution:
Ans: (b)with a twenty five year old girl 

Prepositions are a source of unending confusion and misuse by learners of English. Here in the sentence there’s a wrong preposition used. “Marry” and ‘marriage’ are always followed by the preposition ‘to’, not ‘with’. The same preposition (to) is used after ‘wed’ or ‘wedded’. When two people are married, they are married ‘to’ each other. So the idiomatic preposition to follow ‘marry’ or ‘marriage’ is ‘to’.
