Ron: I could follow that logic if it did indeed result in two marriages--one to "someone" and another to William Hood--but it doesn't. To start afresh, one might have a bride's name and date of marriage but no name for the groom (unlikely, but possible). Entering that would result in "Margaret married someone." No problem. If you later found and entered the groom's name, that should result in "Margaret married William Hood" rather than "Margaret married someone William Hood."

You are telling the computer to marry the daughter. So it does just that, but since it knows that for a marriage to exist there must be a partner it kindly provides one. You then tell the computer to marrry a guy to that same woman, so not knowing that the guy is the partner which it had previously arranged, it does exactly as requested. Hence by complying with the requests - two husbands. It really isn't based on a matter of sequence but a matter of logic .
