And why shouldn't they ?
Re: ache
People tend to stick to what is familiar to them.

Re: ache
iono why that even matters. because like it isn’t hard enough for these people to find a rishta, they think putting up boundaries within sects of a religion is going to land them in to rishta heaven 
compatibility should not be about sects.
Re: ache
difference of sect would affect the relationship down the line…it could be a cause of lot of friction when kids come into the picture…unless at least one of them is not too serious about it…
Re: ache
I read up on the differences between Sunnis and Shias, and I must say I was pretty flabergasted at how much of a difference there was. So for those who think it's not a problem, it is - if the two are firm in their belief.
Re: ache
Marriage between sunni and shia is a problem IMHO. If its not at the time of marriage, it will become an issue when the couple becomes parents and they have to decide what teachings should they pass on to their kids.
A marriage is a difficult thing and needs a lot of work even if the girl and guy are a perfect match, belong to the same religion, sect, nationality, have complete understanding etc.. If there are already other factors involved, like different sec (sunni, shia etc), there would be more work needed by both of the partners.
In a love marriage, people usually don't consider sect etc. They have more tolerance levels in love marriages and tend to ignore many things. But if a person is going for an arranged marriage, a suitable 'match' should be sought. Afterall it is a 'match' and both girl and guy should 'match' each other in every respect in order to be husband and wife.

why is the title Ache?
Re: ache
i meant, there is compromises and if they're willing to compromise then it shouldn't be an issue. and yes disney princess :) if anybody is firm in his/her belief and isn't willing to budge then there will be issues.

Some sahabas are adored by Sunni Muslims and as per Shia Momineen beliefs those sahabas are not even Muslim.
As per some sunny beliefs Shia sect because of some of their beliefs go out of fold of Islam and Shia believe the same about sunni Muslims because of some sunni beliefs or lack of belief in some Shia doctrines.
So what do you do ? Avoid if you two are going to be firm on your Sectarian beliefs and if you have complete knowledge of your beliefs or intend to gain that knowledge and wish to gain that knowledge in future.
Re: ache
For the sake of the child, avoid it.
Re: ache
My marriage was arranged. I'm shia my guy is sunni, I pray shia namaaz, he prays sunni. It matters more to us that we are praying our 5 namaaz, giving zakaat, inshallah going to hajj, and keeping all our fasts. Also, we plan to read up more on our sects so we have a better understanding of what we believe and why and can make an informed rather than "inherited" decision abut what to believe. Inshallah we will pass on this practice to our kids when theyre of an age to themselves, make an informed decision. Inshallah, before that time comes, we'll instill a good basic grasp/understanding and encouraged practicing of our religion.
Re: ache
I have a cousin who married into a shia family and everyone went cuh-razy about it. I dont see what the big deal is, tbh. Plus, they're muslim at the end of the day.

kids are , parents are non practicing
Re: ache
and I hereby declare that no Republican can marry a Democrat , or their kids will fight over elections and it will lead to bloodshed . 
Jeez when we’ll realize that suni shia thingy is a political issue . Nothing to do with Islam . Go read history .
Suni or Shia , if you are not following Quran and Sunnah , but following your molvi , then you deserve jootiyan on your behind .
Re: ache
^ you don't get the question on what i am asking. i have no problem of sunni shia marrying provided that none are practicing or only one is.
as for molvi, its the men who tend to follow them more ....
