Hello.

Is it correct to say "of which" for people?

Which one is better?

1. I have three siblings, two of which are married.

2. I have three siblings, two of whom are married.


Is there a difference between them?
 
The difference is that sentence 1 is wrong. Only "of whom" works there, because you are talking about people.

I see. Is "of whom" an adjective clause?

Is "1. I have three siblings. Two of them are married" correct?
