I will never forget the first time I heard about the DaVinci book, a friend said that her mother read the book and was convinced that Jesus had been married etc.
This is a non-issue. Whether he was married or not (and the Bible doesn't say one way or the other) has nothing to do with the divinity of the resurrected Christ.
Scholars have discussed this issue over the centuries without calling into question the divine nature of Christ. Why it should be used now to 'prove' that Christ is not the Lord is beyond me.

Let's see, Brown has Jesus being married to Mary Magdalene at the wedding in Cana.
On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. John 2:1 ESV
Since when does a groom need an invitation to his own wedding?
After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and shis brothers1 and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days. John 2:12 ESV
For some reason I cannot imagine a young Jewish man going home with his mother, brothers and buddies after his wedding. :)
