Deboleena
As discussed in the previous pages, Aditi was married to Kashyap, and her eldest son was Surya, then Indra. It's an interesting question as to why Indra, & not Surya, became ruler of the Devas.
At any rate, if they are showing Aditi, Diti, et al as unmarried, that's a clear howler. They are correct in showing Indra & the devas, but they were all grandsons of Daksha. The devas were guests of Daksha in the yagna where Sati was insulted and ended her being, and even @ the time of Shiva's marriage to her, the devas were among the attendees. So none of Daksha's daughters - Khyatti, Aditi, Diti, et al ought to be shown here as unmarried.
A different thing that strikes me is how all the daughters were married to rishis, be it Kashyap, Bhrigu, etc. Exception being Rohini, Revathy & the other 25 who were married to Chandra, while Rati was married to Kama. Was there such a shortage of devas, gandharvas & yakshas that a whole bunch of daughters had to share the same hubbies?
P.S. As Varaali points out above, Kartikeya was not a biological son either - like Ganesh, he too was created externally from the 6 sparks that Mahadev gave Agni.
