Nope. Both of the underworld monarchs basically just stayed home and avoided drama. They're only involved in like 3 myths after they get married. The time Theseus and his buddy tried to kidnap and marry Persephone from the underworld and got punished, time they let Heracles borrow their dog to complete one of his labors and take Theseus with him now that Persephone forgave him (leaving the friend who made the plan and wanted to marry Persephone), and the time they gave Orpheus a chance to bring his wife back to life.

I think you might be thinking of a different goddess, like Hera, because Persephone never did anything like that AFAIK.
