Ludwig married?

Oh, how extremely interesting. Your black and whitish conclusions bring 
us absolutely nowhere, Sigvald. The fact that Don didn't say this or 
that apparently force you to make a conclusion which aims at the exact 
opposite. If Don (or anyone else, who in your world defines the "canon") 
never claimed that the Earth is flat, you probably would find good 
reasons to believe that the Earth indeed might be flat...

Speculations. Anyways, here is how it all works. And please do tell me, 
if I am wrong. This is the true story:

Goofy is Pluto's uncle, and Pluto himself is a half-cousin to Scamp, 
because Tramp and Pluto were raised together during a shorter period. 
Lady had an affair with Old Trusty before she ever met Tramp and (kinda 
secret actually) gave birth to Newton. So roughly speaking Goofy *is* 
Newton's uncle in daily conversation, but let's not get technical here.

Pete (a nephew to Lucifer) married Trudy and she gave birth to Madam 
Mim's Spitfire. Pete is in fact the father of Tabby, who (as everybody 
knows) was later adopted by Donald.

Little Toot married an elder yacht of Uncle Scrooge's and they happily 
had triplets. The archives don't reviel details about their lifes, but 
rumours tell that HDL played with them once, so who can tell the 
consequences of that intimate meeting.

Little Helper couldn't resist the tall legs of Gyro's mailbox robot and 
they finally got their screws together. Obviously the Thinking Cap got 
jealous and the inhabitants (the birds) departed and met Magica's 
Ratface. It's now commonly known that all the birds live in a pleasant 
collective and even have their own web site.

Apart from the rubbish above, I had hoped that you knew your Ludwig 
better. He has never showed any interest in the opposite sex as far as I 
know. Ludwig has his books and his degrees and Scrooge has his money. 
This fact may not constitute a "perfect life" for you, Sigvald, I mean 
you wrote:

 > A marriage is *NOT* unimportant!

True, indeed. But let's not forget that the "people" in question are 
first and foremost comics characters, and such characters behave 
differently from what (sometimes) can be expected.
