Hi Shruti,

you need the stress pronoun "lui" here. Even in English you would say: "Marie and HIM" which is the English version of a stress pronoun.

Bonjour Shruti !

While in English, you could nowadays use colloquially either he or him in subject groups, in French, you can only use the stress pronoun lui.

See our related lesson:

Bonne journée !

But your notes say: 

You won't use subject pronouns (je/tu/il/elle/nous/vous/ils/elles) nor object pronouns (me/te/le/la/l'/nous/vous/les).

Something is not right.
