"You shall not marry her this side of the grave." (Creon to Haimon)
The irony in this is that Haimon ends up commiting suicide to be with Antigone. He tells his father in vain that if she were to die, he would take his life. As it turns out, Haimon truly does not marry Antigone on that side of the grave, but they end up dying together.
