Only if that person was also a co-owner of the card prior to the marriage. If you were the only owner of the card (and consequently the debt) prior to the marriage, then no, you are the sole owner of the debt.

Will your credit score change if you get married?
No. When you get married, your credit reports are the same as they were when you were single. The actions you take WHILE married, however, may influence your credit score. In States that are considered "Community Property" or "Marital Property" (there are nine in the US), the spouse must always be included on any new loans. Accordingly, if your spouse decides to apply for credit, your credit score will be a component of whether or not your spouse is approved. Also, if your spouse does not pay that bill on time or skips a payment, your credit report will be impacted.
