Correct Answer: Although


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

The sentence currently presents a causal relationship, indicating that the reason for her marrying him is because she didn't love him. "Although" introduces a contrast or concession, indicating that despite the fact that she didn't love him, she still had to marry him. This emphasises the irony or unexpectedness of the situation, highlighting the discrepancy between her feelings and her actions.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: Although she didn’t love him, she had to marry him.
