    Question

    In the given sentence, identify the part which contains an error.
    John, a Britisher, was married with an Indian woman.

    A.

    John

    B.

    a Britisher

    C.

    was married with

    D.

    an Indian woman

    Correct option is C


    The correct answer is (c) was married with.
    The phrase “married with” is incorrect in standard English. The correct preposition used with married is to, so the correct sentence is: John, a Britisher, was married to an Indian woman.
    Grammatical rule involved (English):
    The adjective/verb married is followed by the preposition to (married to someone). The preposition with is not used to indicate marriage.
    व्याकरण नियम (Hindi):
    Married शब्द के साथ सही preposition to होती है।
    Married with का प्रयोग विवाह के संदर्भ में गलत माना जाता है।
    Meanings / role of the other options:
    • (a) John — correct subject.
    • (b) a Britisher — correct appositive phrase.
    • (d) an Indian woman — correct object phrase.
    Thus, the correct option is (c).
