From a religious point of view, nothing is wrong.

From a social point of view, (which happens to be the driving factor here), the same is wrong with a marriage between a 'shia' and a 'sunni' as is with a marriage between a chaudhry and a jatt.

These issues are more related to social customs and traditions than religion. Whatever differences there may be between a 'shia' and a 'sunni', they evolve from decades of segregation, that has been present in our south asian society in almost every level. There are people who simply refuse to marry outside of their family. Then there are those who refuse to marry outside of their 'zaat'. Then those who cant marry outside of their ethnicity....and the list goes on.

The attitudes are however changing now, and people, for the large part, seem to be coming out of this attitude.

Well... dear if I were you I would have asked first ask myself following questions, before asking others opinions;

1- Can we maintain same level of tolerance and patience when the crap
from people of both families will come to us ?
2- Can we maintain same level of respect and love when the things
would get tough ??
3- What would be our personal reaction and feeling if any of our own
brother or sister does the same thing i.e marry to other sects
person ??? can we give respect to other sect's person the way we
expect for ourselves ??
4- In case of having kids (inshallah) whoes belief they shall be brought-
up with... SHIA or SUNNI ??? decide and discuss it now cuz that is
one of the most important matter based on family norms.

As regards to the Islamic perspective (please do remember none of us is in a position to give any Fatwa) I believe when a muslim man is allowed to marry any Christian or any other girl having belief in any book of Allah,there should be no problem in marrying to any Shia girl.Its just a matter of developing an environment of tolerance, patienec and mutual respect.

Last but not the least, please do remeber that we can live without love but cannot live without respect so if you feel that at any point you cannot give respect to your life partner becasue of any reason whatsoever, then its better to not proceed to mess your and her life.
