She was going to be arrested for espionage, and Lord John Grey had to protect her knowing that she wouldn't be a spy. He married her to offer her his protection. Yes, they did consummate the marriage, too. At the start of the eighth book,
After Claire is arrested on suspicion of spying, John convinces Claire to marry him so he can protect her. One night, Claire and John sleep together; afterwards, they both acknowledge: they only had sex as a way to be closer to Jamie.
Did you guess Lord John Grey? Because yes, Claire and Lord John end up married in book seven, and yes, they drunkenly (and full of grief for the loss of Jamie, whom they both love with all of their heart) consummate that marriage.
Clearly he still loves Claire, understands what she did, and forgives her for it - but here, in this passage, he admits he is human. He admits how difficult it is for him to keep his vow to forgive her. Not that he wouldn't forgive her - of course he would. But he acknowledges just how *hard* it is to do so.
Given how close Lord John is with the Frasers, it seems likely at some point he will finally accept Claire and Brianna are time travellers even if he doesn't truly understand it. Aside from Lord John, Young Ian (John Bell) knows his aunt Claire is a time traveller, acutely aware she is not from this time.
The day after their wedding, John gives Claire a large chest of medical equipment as a wedding present. Claire, remembering a similar anniversary gift Jamie had given to her a decade earlier, faints. A week after her marriage to Lord John, she and John drunkenly sleep together.

Jamie Kissed Lord John After He Refused His Body
In the show, it ended at that, to deviate from the audience's expectation, and to focus instead on true friendship and compassion.
“He's about 25,” Gabaldon said. It's an interesting response. If you're up to date on the series, then you know that Jamie is not dead at the age of 25.
Brianna ends up asking John to marry her as a way of avoiding being proposed to by a total stranger, which—actually, scratch that. Brianna threatens to out John as gay if he doesn't marry her, he gets understandably pissed, she apologizes, and he eventually agrees to the engagement after a brief bonding session.
Claire and Jamie have time to reconnect, but first, Jamie needs to know about King Louis. There is an element of jealousy about it. Despite Claire not telling him in the previous chapter, Jamie knows that Claire slept with the King.
So, technically, Claire has three husbands in the Outlander books. However, there is only one man for her: Jamie.
Does Claire know? Yes, Jamie told her after they finally reunite in the Print Shop in Edinburgh.

In one of the more tender scenes from “Of Lost Things,” the fourth episode from Starz' Outlander, Jamie (Sam Heughan) offers his body to Lord John Grey (David Berry), a closeted gay soldier, in exchange for watching over his son, Willie, after he returns to Scotland. Grey is, understandably, overwhelmed with emotion.
