has been married

[stephenlearner]

Bob is divorced now.
1. He has been married.
2. He has married.
3. He has got(BE)/gotten(AE) married.

Are all three sentences correct?

Thank you very much.

 

[Wordy McWordface]

In the present time, only 1 is correct.

 

[stephenlearner]

Do the second and third sentences imply that Bob is still married now?

 

[Glasguensis]

I can’t imagine ever using 2 and 3 but I would interpret them both as meaning that he has recently married

 

[Wordy McWordface]

Do the second and third sentences imply that Bob is still married now?

Yes. They both have the same meaning - referring to his change of status from single to married - and they both inform the listener/reader about some recent "news". If Bob is now divorced, you wouldn't tell people that Bob has just got married.

 

[stephenlearner]

If I add "three times", do the three sentences all work?

Bob is divorced now.
1. He has been married three times.
2. He has married three times.
3. He has got(BE)/gotten(AE) married three times.

 

[Glasguensis]

No, only 1 works. See above for when we would use 2 and 3, and you will see that it doesn’t make sense if you add 3 times

 

[stephenlearner]

We can add "three times" to this sentence:
He has lost his key.
He has lost his key three times.

I can't understand why I am not allowed to add it to "He has married".

Those sentences are grammatical simple statements. If you want to know if they are correct we need to know what you want to say and if Bob is alive or dead.
My main problem with your first sentences is that both #2s are unnatural, for this BrE speaker. I'd say 'He got married three times', because each wedding is a finished event that took place on one day. The reference is to the event. I'd say 'He has been married three times' because that status is part of his life story, if he's still alive.

We can add "three times" to this sentence:
He has lost his key.
He has lost his key three times.

I can't understand why I am not allowed to add it to "He has married".

Getting married is a special case. It changes your status. You can’t say “he has lost his leg three times” either (or at least it would need a very specific context).
Just because you can say something with one verb in some context doesn’t mean that the same structure will work with a different verb or in a different context. It is a waste of time and energy to investigate the “why”.
