Abduction and marriage

Incident like Duryodhana, all the Kauravas have kidnapped princess to make their wife, like Duryodhana kidnapped princess Bhanumati, Charuchitra kidnapped one princess, Dussaha kidnapped one princess etc.

Description in Mahabharata or mentions

She is described by her mother-in-law Gandhari to Krishna, about being a beautiful princess how she believed Dushasana, her husband, he promised Chandramukhi that he'll take good care of her. Maids were kept to look after Dushasana's wife.

Therefore, the marriage of Dushasana and Chandramukhi echoes the marriage of Duryodhana and Bhanumati and Mayuri.. Gandhari says to Krishna,

Behold, the wife of Dushasana,the mother of Drumasena and Bharata, the woman who sorrows for her husband and her two sons, the daughter of King Ashwinraja and Queen Suchitra Devi,the cousin of Bhanumati and Mayuri, her sorrows were only a divine love for Dushasana, her husband

— Gandhari, Translated By Kisari Mohan Ganguli
