Is it permissible for a person of one Math-hab to marry someone from another Mathhab?

Question

Is it permissible for a person of one Math-hab to marry someone from another Math-hab?

Answer

Math-habs in our context refer to the Four Math-habs of the Ahlus Sunnah. It is permissible for a person of one of the Four Math-habs to marry a person of another Math-hab. But there will be problems of incompatibility leading to arguments and possible breakdown of the marriage. In fact there are problems of incompatibility among people of even the same Math-hab. Therefore, one should always try to ascertain the moral character, ideas and mannerism of the person before accepting a proposal.
