Dionysos saving Ariadne by marrying her - source?

Question

I am wondering whether there is a classical source for this version of what happens when Theseus abandons Ariadne at Naxos:
--
Theseus and Ariadne fall asleep on the island, but Dionysos shows himself to Theseus (in flesh or in a dream) and tells him that Ariadne is condemned, because she assisted in the murder of her brother, the Minotaur. The only way she can be saved is by marrying him, Dionysos, thus becoming immortal. But Theseus will have to abandon her for that to happen. Theseus leaves the sleeping Ariadne and deports with the ship. She awakes, thinks she has been left alone, encounters Dionysos, and accepts his hand in marrige.
--
This was the way the story was told in a children's book I read when I was 9. I have reread them and the author is very dependable and does not roam too far from the classical sources, but I cannot find this particular explanation anywhere else. In the old texts, the explanations seem to be either that he abandoned her because he wanted to marry someone else, that Dionysos appeared to him in a dream and told him to leave her alone, or that Dionysos killed her because she was condemned by the gods. The particular line of reasoning - that the god had to marry her in order to save her from death and condemnation - is not something I have been able to find. Does that mean the author of the children's book made this up, or are there other sources I should be aware of that tells the story in a similar way?
Thank you in advance.

There are two textual sources for this, there is no mention for Dionysos' motivation:
Pausanias, Description of Greece, Chapter 20:

The oldest sanctuary of Dionysus is near the theater. Within the
precincts are two temples and two statues of Dionysus, the Eleuthereus
（Deliverer） and the one Alcamenes made of ivory and gold. There are
paintings here—Dionysus bringing Hephaestus up to heaven. One of the
Greek legends is that Hephaestus, when he was born, was thrown down by
Hera. In revenge he sent as a gift a golden chair with invisible
fetters. When Hera sat down she was held fast, and Hephaestus refused
to listen to any other of the gods save Dionysus—in him he reposed the
fullest trust—and after making him drunk Dionysus brought him to
heaven. Besides this picture there are also represented Pentheus and
Lycurgus paying the penalty of their insolence to Dionysus, Ariadne
asleep, Theseus putting out to sea, and Dionysus on his arrival to
carry off Ariadne.

Pausanias, Description of Greece, Chapter 29:

Ariadne was taken away from Theseus by Dionysus, who sailed against
him with superior forces, and either fell in with Ariadne by chance or
else set an ambush to catch her. This Dionysus was, in my opinion,
none other than he who was the first to invade India, and the first to
bridge the river Euphrates. Zeugma （Bridge） was the name given to that
part of the country where the Euphrates was bridged, and at the
present day the cable is still preserved with which he spanned the
river; it is plaited with branches of the vine and ivy.
