When marrying, you child and their spouse must decide whether to file jointly or separately. If they file jointly, they will claim themselves for tax purposes, and you cannot claim them.
A taxpayer can usually claim a married person as a qualifying child dependent if all of these conditions are met:
If the child and their spouse marry but file separately or do not file
AND
They are under age 19 or under age 24 and a full time student or permanently disabled
or they are over the age of 19, not a full time student, but earn less than $3650/year
AND
They live with their parents for over half the year
AND
They don't provide over half of their own support for the year

Make sure that the dependent indicates on the 1040 income tax return that him/her is using indicates this and cannot claim the 3650 exemption amount on the income tax return that is being filed.
