When to use it
刚 (gāng) means 'just' in the sense of 'a moment ago'; use it with no 了 when the action is recent and the state continues. 结婚 (jiéhūn) is a separable verb: 结 = tie, 婚 = marriage. This matters because you can't say 结婚了他; you'd say 和他结婚了 (married him). When Chinese people hear 刚结婚, expect immediate follow-ups about the wedding banquet (婚宴), whether you've got a house yet (房子), and when kids are coming; these questions aren't rude, they're how aunties show care.
