agreement of participle

'If Cristina had married him'  -  why is 'se hubiera casada' marked wrong?

Hola Thea

when we use past participles as part of a compound tense, e.g. he comprado, habías ido, hubiera hecho..., the only form of the participle here as part of a verb is the singular masculine form -there is no agreement with the subject.
