So a false Hydra style situation

I don't think a false hydra creates fake memories? Just deletes the person. So you just won't remember that you had a spouse. But with the prompt you would remember someone else marrying you.

Although that was probably a subconscious inspiration!

Yes, but this one specifically attributes their actions to you. Slightly different, and i think it makes it more interesting.
