Desdemona lies to Othello primarily to protect her husband and preserve their relationship. When Othello questions her about the handkerchief, which is a symbol of their love, she deflects the conversation to avoid escalating his jealousy and mistrust. Her intentions are rooted in love and loyalty, as she hopes to reassure Othello of her fidelity despite the manipulations of Iago. Ultimately, her lies reflect her desperation to maintain harmony in their troubled marriage.
