"He got married" is the correct one, but "He has married" sounds like an incomplete sentence (like, "He has married [Who?]"
If you want to correct "He has married", it would be "He has been married".

@jellyQ: "He got married" sounds like the marriage just happened now.
But "He has been married" sounds like the marriage happened some time ago.
The "has been" is a present perfect continuous which means that "something began in the past and has lasted into the present time."

@jellyQ: Use "Had been"
when you want something to mean "something began in the past, lasted for some time, then ended."
Ex. He had been married.
He had been in prison before.
