Correct spelling, explanation: married is a participial adjective deriving and getting its meaning from a verb to marry. The rule says that when we make adjectives describing the person or animal from the verb, we add the suffix ed to the base form. In the word marry, we have to also change the vowel y into i and as a result, we have the form married. Hence, the only correct form is married, not maried.

Incorrect spelling, explanation: although this word comes from Latin as maritare with one r, maried is the incorrect form. It was changed and since the 14th-century people have spelled this one with two r. Besides, married is the adjective derived from the verb to marry with double r. Forming adjectives from the verbs, you have to add the suffix ed but first, you should change the vowel y into i. As a result, you have just created the form married, not maried which is misspelled.
