When I married I´ll have 3 kids / When I marry I´ll have 3 kids. Hi, I´ve listened this sentence in a short movie, but I am not able to distinguish between both of them, cause the character doesn´t say: " When I got married." So what is right even if the "got" is not used? Thank you all.

I think you are getting confused between the past and future tense. If you say: "When I got married, I had 3 kids" this happened in the past. Someone can say: "When I am married, I'll have 3 kids" or "When I marry, I'll have 3 kids" This means that they plan to have 3 kids after they get married. I hope this helps :)
