Excerpt taken from this site,


There aren't so many Ismailis out there; In Sunni Islam , we have e.g. the Wahabis in Saudi Arabia

who follow Ibn Taymiah or the Deobandis (Dar ul Ulum) who follow an interpretation of the Sunnah

the four Sunni madhabs don't share and who live predominantly in Pakistan or India. They

say all Shia, Ahmadiya and non-Muslims are Kaffir and have a very misogenist attitude towards the role

of women...
But before the marriage, you should discuss the main differences( the different role

of Muhammad's family in Shia Islam, role of Sahaba etc.) , as you will raise children and build a family:

There should be a common ground as you have to convey Islamic values to the children and you should

reach an agreement on everything you want to teach them.

Since it seems there are many sects, all with their own customs, and traditions, a marriage is possible, but I recommend you both get familiar with each others specific customs first, to pave the way for how and when you observe what traditions of your specific sects, or castes, and make a decision that works for you both.
