She married John Rolfe
She didn't marry John Smith she married John Rolfe. She was only 10 when she married John Rolfe. She married John Rolfe in 1614, she was 19, she died in 1617 at age 22
John Smith never married Pocahontas. In fact, Pocahontas is only a nickname given to Matoaka meaning playful. When John Smith visited the Powhatan tribe he actually was treated very well. Matoaka was about 11 years old at the time. When Pocahontas was 17, she was abducted and imprisoned in Jamestown for a year. She was released after she agreed to marry John Rolfe. They had a son Thomas Rolfe and Matoaka, then known by the name of Rebecca Rolfe, died at the age of 22 in March of 1617.
It is actually unknown if Pocahontas loved John Rolfe or not, the only thing we know for sure is that they were married. But as you probably know already, not everyone who is married is happy or in love.
No, John Smith did not propose to Pocahontas for John Rolfe. John Smith was a close friend of Pocahontas and played a significant role in her life, but the marriage between Pocahontas and John Rolfe was a separate event. Pocahontas and Rolfe were married in 1614, primarily as a means to establish peace between the Jamestown settlers and the Powhatan Confederacy. Smith's involvement with Pocahontas was more about their friendship and mutual respect rather than any proposal for Rolfe.
