Can a Syed Sunni Muslim female marry a non-Syed Sunni Muslim?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Can the syed muslim sunni female marriage with a person who is not a syed but sunni Muslim?

Answer

(Fatwa: 749/622/B=1432)

The scholars of Fiqh have considered the account of kufu from the side of girl i.e. the boy whom the girl is marrying should be of the same kufu (status) or superior to the girl. But if the girl belongs to a Sayyid family then it shall not be lawful for her to marry a non-Sayyid boy without the permission of her guardian. And if she does so, her guardians shall have the right to terminate the nikah.
