"She didn't get married nor had children". Is the use of "nor" correct? I know we can use "nor" without "neither" but I'm doubting in this case.

1"... nor did she have children" would be valid syntax/semantics and reasonably idiomatic. – Hot Licks May 29 '20 at 13:39

2Does this answer your question? Should I use 'or' or 'nor' after a negative statement? – Edwin Ashworth May 29 '20 at 15:37

No.

This is irrelevant.
Not + or
Neither + nor
"...nor had or have children."

3But She didn't get married. Nor did she have children would be fine. – Colin Fine May 29 '20 at 13:38
