Hello, Bookmark:

(1) The two language professionals have given you the answer.

(2) I am sure that you already know it, but just in case you have

forgotten, "good" English requires the objective form (whom)

after a preposition, such as "of."

(3) I believe that we could analyze your sentence like this:

I interviewed two women. Both are married.

I interviewed two women. Both of the two women are married.

I interviewed two women, both of whom ["whom" = the two women]

are married.


Sincerely,


James
