What is the position of the Sharia and the religion of Islam on the idea that Jesus, peace be upon him, married Mary Magdalene and had children with her, as presented in the film "The Da Vinci Code"?

There is no evidence in Islamic law that proves or refutes the marriage of Jesus, peace be upon him, whether to Mary Magdalene or anyone else. Marriage is among the traditions of the Prophets, but if it is proven that Jesus did not marry, it might have been for a reason specific to him. And if his marriage is proven, there is no defect in that; rather, it is a form of perfection.
