Hello Avangi,Your suggestions left me with a sense of helplessness. Because it had me find I am wrong to all but you say "They're both correct".As you saying, the ( 1 ) means she gave up her career that is for a purpose of getting married. the ( 2 ) means she gave up after getting married.

In my opinion, "after" is the wrong word.
You could say, "She gave up her career upon getting married," suggesting that the two actions were contemporaneous, but "after" would mean something else.

@CalifJim

Is 'by' in your sentences necessary?
Because I have often read sentences like:
'She broke her leg playing football.' instead of 'She broke her leg while/by playing football'

So could it also be:
'She ruined her chances for career advancement getting married' ?

louiSTIs 'by' in your sentences necessary?
Yes, because bepleased was asking about the use of -ing where the meaning is like "because of" ("as a result of").
louiSTSo could it also be:'She ruined her chances for career advancement getting married' ?
No. The meaning is not as clear like that.

I am connecting your two suggestions "ed - coming in from the outside to the inside <<<<<" with "HOW? by getting married - as a result of getting married - because of getting married."...........And then I can grasp this sentence that "He is justified in asking her for her resignation."
