        marry to or marry with

The verb  "marry" is used  with an object/ noun.

However, in formal styles we use them without an object.

Example:

          The couple married three years ago and have a daughter.

In informal language we use get married  when there is no object/ noun.

Example:

        They are getting married today.

✔ marry to

❌ marry with

Examples:

         She got married to someone she met at college.

         She is married to someone she met at college.

        He is married to Rani.

       She got married with someone.

      She is married with someone.

      He is married with Rani.
