from
Wikipedia
Marie Cardona was a typist in the same workplace as Meursault.
A day after Meursault's mother's funeral she meets him at a public beach which sparks their relationship.
She asks if Meursault loves her but Meursault replies that he doesn't think so.
He still agrees to marry her but he gets arrested for killing the Arab.
Marie, like Meursault, enjoys physical contact in their relationship through the act of sex.
She represents the enjoyable life Meursault wants and she is also the only reason that Meursault regrets going to jail.
