Most Rishis were married . Only one Rishi that I know who was unmarried was Maharishi Kapila ( founder of Sankhya Yog)

Suka ( Veda Vyas's son) decided to remain unmarried but he too eventually got married upon being advised by Ved Vyas and Janak.( Suka is known to have acheived Moksha)

There is story is Mbh where one Jaratkaru had become ascetic before being married . Once he saw his ancestors falling from heaven to hell because Jaratkaru was their only descendant on the earth and he had decided not to get married . So, upon being advised by his ancestors he got married.

Is marrying extremely essential for a man to get Moksha or even heaven ?
