Definition
成婚 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to get married,' more formal and literary than the common word 结婚. You can split it to insert aspect markers or measure words: 成了婚 ('got married'), 成的婚 ('the marriage that happened'). The verb-object structure behaves like 结婚 but is used in more refined or written contexts.
v.o.
(formal) to get married
