Had a religion class from Victor Ludlow, a Jewish scholar, in college at Brigham Young University

He said there is a compelling case Jesus was married from Jewish traditions as practiced at the time. You couldn't be considered a "Rabbi" without being age 30 and without having been married. He waited until he was 30 to begin his official ministry and would have had to have been married. His first miracle was at a wedding feast where he was in charge of the food and wine. That was the job of the groom. And also why his mother was the one organizing as well.

Though the biggest tell is the fact that after his resurrection even before he ascended to his Father God in Heaven (or even talked with his apostles) he appeared to Mary Magdalene (whose name is also mentioned even more than each of the apostles in the scriptures).

A lot of people will say stuff like this.

It’s just about as valid to claim he was a space alien.

It means nothing. But it does present itself with some sort of sense of scholarly authority.
