Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

marrying an illegal salvadoran

My girlfreind has been in this country for 3 years. She entered California without a visa, no papers. We want to get married but I found out that she cannot adjust her status after getting married. What are the options? Is it advisable to get married, will I get into trouble? Will ICE come looking for her?
