What is the meaning of this と "and" or "with"?


皆さん、こんにちは！ 昨日、新しいコロナウイルスについて読んで、何か面白いものを見つけた！ これで手伝ってくれないの？ So, I found a bit
confusing the following sentence: この女性の娘と結婚している男性にも、ウイルスがうつっていました。 In the
beginning I thought that the meaning of this sentence was "the daughter and
husband of the woman" (to whom the sentence makes reference) because as you
know と can mean "and" 日本と中国 = Japan and China 娘と結婚している男性= daughter and husband
But also と can mean "with" So I concluded that the meaning of the sentence is
"The man who is married to this woman's daughter" But I just wanna be sure I'm
right with this




I think it's safe to say that the only realistic translation is "The man who
is married to (with) this woman's daughter" as you said.

Grammatically you could parse it as {この女性の娘}と{結婚している男性} "this woman's daughter
and a married man" but who is this married man who suddenly appears out of
context? That would be silly.

As for your other translation "the daughter and husband of the woman", you
wouldn't use 結婚している男性 to refer to someone's husband, so we can discount this
option too.
