I remember reading The Crucible junior year of high school. While I don't remember everything to a tee. I have an idea of why she lied. People during that time had very strong religious beliefs. They lived and died by them. Obviously, most of them where flawed. Elizabeth wanted to protect her husband. She loved him. He already had so much against him. Like plowing on a Sabbath Day. Which they considered unholy. If she hadn't lied it would have only hurt the family more at that time.
