What should a Shia boy do if he wishes to marry a Sunni girl with all Sunni rituals?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I have a question. A Shia boy having Sunni mother and grandmother, wishes to marry a Sunni girl with all Sunni rituals and boy itself not following false Shia sayings as guided by mother, now please tell me what to do?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 1222/1120/N=9/1434)

Shias generally hide their true face under the cover of taqayya; therefore it is against precaution for a Sunni girl to marry a Shia boy though he repents from his Shia beliefs and practices. Yes, if he is believed by his friends especially religious and knowledgeable persons to be a true Sunni, then a Sunni girl can marry him. However, one should exercise maximum care in marrying a Shia.

Allah knows Best!
