Number 2 is more natural.
The first one isn't wrong but it just sounds a little off. It's hard to explain :/

Depends. She has married three times, now she is getting married again. She has been married THREE times!

Will someone explain it in detail? I also have the same doubt. I searched on the internet but I couldn't understand the difference.

One doubt guys ,The first sentence is in present perfect tense. I understand it. But is it possible to use has+ been + ed form? I thought ing form is always used.

It depends on what you're trying to emphasize - the act of getting married, then she's married (meaning she's had three weddings) or the state of being married, then she's been married three times. Usually no one cares about the act of getting married but rather the state and therefore the second option is more common.
