If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [that he had just gotten married and so he could not come]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

γυναῖκα ἔγημα

˓a˒_wife ˱I˲_married

In your language, it might seem that this phrase expresses unnecessary extra information. If so, you could abbreviate it. Use the expression that is most natural in your language. Alternate translation: [I have just gotten married]

οὐ δύναμαι ἐλθεῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἕτερος εἶπεν γυναῖκα ἔγημα καί διά τοῦτο οὒ δύναμαι ἐλθεῖν)

This is not the same polite formula that the previous two people used. This man feels he has solid grounds to decline the invitation, and he says so directly. Reflect this difference in the way your language naturally would. Alternate translation: [I will not be coming]
