If there's a chance of deviation, one should not even consider marrying that person. Since they are already married, have a child and husband is putting some restrictions, there's good chance of deviation or softening of beliefs. 
So if that person forces in matter of religion, she should prefer deen over her sunni husband. 
Sorry sister for what I have written above. You know your situation better, sit and talk with him and let him know how much Wilayat and Azadari means to you. I would strongly suggest prefer religion over anything else.

There should be a popup when clicking (accidentally or otherwise) saying:
                            'Do you really want to visit or you're married?', 
               'Yes, take me there'.         'Let me check if my wife is around'

I just cited that Sheikh Mufid rejected it. You should take it up with him. 
There are probably as many authentic narrations that reject it as there are they accept it. I presented Sheikh Mufid and the above video from a sunni scholar rejecting it.
There is a sunni narration about Umar threatening to falsely accuse Imam Ali of theft by producing 2 witnesses and then chopping both his hands off. The threat plus coercion from Ibn Abbas led Imam Ali to give his daughter to Umar.
In another narration, Imam Ali (عليه السلام) sent his daughter to Umar to "evaluate" where Umar looked at her legs and then wanted to move forward with the marriage.
If the above narrations are true, then essentially Umar is lying, conniving, manipulative pedophile so feel free to believe what you want.

Because the perpetrators are not Jews or westerners, thus there's no political incentive in bringing attention to it. Yes, it's terrible what is going on in Palestine, but I do believe it gets far more attention than many other atrocities because the perpetrators happen to be of Jewish descent. As Shias we need to be standing against all injustice and oppression, regardless of who the victims are. 

Then go ahead and ban me; as if I give two hoots about getting banned anymore. I will speak my mind, and no one can censor me. I haven't said anything insulting or abusive. I have not insulted any leader. 
And I was talking about Sajid Naqvi, not your marja. No need to act insecure if you are unfamiliar with Pakistani politics, and I don't owe you or anyone in your political camp any explanation as to where my 'distorted emotions' are coming from. 
I have done more to defend Iran in the online and the academic spheres  than any zealot apologist here has done, and my past posts are a testimony to it. 
If they claim that their politics represents the Shi'a cause on a global scale, they must also brace for criticism from the Shi'a worldwide whom they claim to represent. Or they can just say that they are a nation-state like others and represent only their geopolitical and national interests and come clear. They'll then be free from accountability, but until then, they'll have to put up with criticism. 
 

The maraji speak about oppression everywhere. No tribalism-racism among Ayatollahs.
However, when they do speak about issues like in Nigeria, Bahrain, Pakistan, India etc. the response of those countries is "why meddle our domestic problems" and it worsens the situation for local shia minorities there. Their opponents claim; "See? Shias are backed by such and such countries. They are not Pakistanis or Indians or Azarbaijanis anymore. They are such and such countries' agents." etc.
I mean I even see shias online fighting one another due to tensions between Pakistan-India and each one backing up their own secular-godless regime against "the other" nation. (They are one nation but seperated by borders, regimes doings etc.)
So, shia Muslims and sunni Muslims who are on the side of the resistance axis need to unite in West Asia (Pakistan, India, Afghanistan etc.) They must voice the oppression so their countries feel forced to do something to stop the bloodshed there.
I mean if you add up the numbers of shia Muslims in Pakistan and India, they are greater in number than Iraq or maybe Iran. But when they can't or don't do something about it, why expect others to when the fitnahmongers have more cards (racism, so-called sovereignity etc) to use against Middle Eastern shia muslims.
See the example of Iraq? ISIS was active there butchering sunni and shia muslims. And Iraqi marja-ayatollah issuing a fatwa and forming of hashd al shabi saved all of them and defeated ISIS terrorists. If it were an Iranian marja-ayatollah issuing the fatwa instead, it would not have worked the same way. Sad but it is what it is. People take this nationalism thingie seriously even when the borders they talk about day and night were drawn by western imperialists after the world war. Anyway, that's why an Iraqi Ayatullah had to speak up and Iraqi shiites needed to gather along with sufis and sunnis to stand up against the takfiri-daesh terrorists.
So, shia Muslims in Pakistan, India, Azarbaijan, Turkey etc. need to study the Islamic Movements and Revolutions in Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen etc. How they were formed, what policy did they have so they could unite people shias and sunnis alike under one banner etc. and apply a similar strategy in their own countries inshaAllah.

This coming from a 'Shi'a' government.... 
A few perfunctory statements are now appearing here and there in their press, but the main rung of the leadership is still mum. Too little too late. I am reminded of a couplet by Mir Taqi 'Mir'-
 ,بعد مرنے کے مری قبر پہ آیا وہ میر
یاد آئی مرے عیسیٰ کو دوا میرے بعد
Btw how are you doing bhaijan? Haven't heard from you in a long time. 

Iran, Khamanei and their followers give statements for Palestine day & Night. When it comes to Momineen of Parachinar, absolute silence. 
Because - Israel is foe, Taliban is friend. 
Thanks for bringing up the topic br. @AbdusSibtayn

Aimma (عليه السلام) were true representative of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) and those who unlawfully deprived them of their rights and killed them went against command of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). This transgression should not be underestimated; consider it akin to assassinating the President of a democratic nation, let alone a representative of the Almighty. When the Imam (عليه السلام) remained silent or engaged with them diplomatically, it wasn't a sign of positive relations but rather a manifestation of wisdom and obedience to Allah's (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) decree.
Attempting to downplay their misdeeds and trying to strike a balance between friends and foes of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) might jeopardize one's Aqa’ed and hence, their hereafter.
Please pause and think. 

Yes, brother their blood does not have any significance, their existence is nothing mere but the likeness of an ant who is trampled upon by other creatures. There will be no day dedicated for them in any month of a year, no mass gatherings for them, no sloganeering for them in gatherings, no campaigns for them in social media, no "All eyes on Parachinar" will be kept as status on social media, no tears will be shed for them since all the tears have been dedicated to Palestinians only.
Yes brother, they do not have any oil field to offer, a proxy to wage war on a significant high value geopolitical region, nor do they have any mineral resources to offer!!
Unfortunate they are, that although they share the same creed and follow the same theology, yet they do not possess any significance among the fellow Shias let alone any other community would stand for them!!

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends” -Martin Luther King Jr
It bleeds the heart to see that there is absolutely pin-drop silence on this continuing carnage with a decades-long history.
While it is understandable why the MSM might want to censor this news, the silence of political pundits from the Shi'a world- who generally have an opinion ready on every 'hot' political happening from Latin America to the Middle East and East Asia- is what is the most agonizing. 
Discord servers, WhatsApp and telegram groups, Facebook pages and feeds, Twitter handles online forums are choked with outrage posts, solidarity messages and 'expert' opinions whenever there is an atrocity somewhere in Palestine, but why is there not as much as a whisper on this genocide from these same demographics? 
What purpose does disregarding, cheapening and brushing under the carpet the blood and suffering our our brethren- in- imaan, who are one flesh and blood with the rest of us, serve? What 'geopolitical' expediency explains the studied silence of those who posit themselves at the head of not only the global Shi'a-dom, but world Islam? If a blasphemous spoof at the Paris Olympics is important enough to draw a reaction, surely it is not too much to expect that the bloodshed of fellow mu'mineen would be as important, if not more important? 
Days have passed since the carnage erupted, and not as much as a statement in all these days? 
Is their blood so cheap? Is it because they don't figure anywhere on the contemporary chessboard of geopolitical 'hot' topics? 
The usual spam posts, trolling, name-calling, naysaying and apologia and mud-slinging will inevitably follow after this post, but I don't care.

We should be more concerned what Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) and Ahlul Bayt (عليهم اسلام) thinks of us than wishingto be taken seriously from Non-Muslims. 
These debates between Haq and baatil should be till last day of the world. Because the love and hate of the men involved makes our belief that would decide our fate in Yawn al-Qiyamah. 
And our beliefs comes from this ancient books. 

Salam happy Eid Ghadir to you & your family  & all of Shias & Muslims & all people of world .
Eid Al-Ghadir: The Best Of Celebrations
 
Etiquette and Practices of Eid al-Ghadir
One of the unique aspects of Eid al-Ghadir is kindness and benevolence towards others, including one’s family and religious brethren. In this regard, Imam Ali (peace be upon him) has recommended:
“Improve your family’s livelihood! Be kind to your brothers! Be grateful for God’s blessings! Meet each other with happiness and a radiant face! Giving one dirham on this day is equivalent to two hundred thousand dirhams. Whoever breaks a believer’s fast on this day is like one who has broken the fast of ten ‘F’eams’. When someone asked Imam Ali what a ‘F’eam’ is, he replied: ‘Each ‘F’eam’ represents two hundred thousand prophets, truthful ones, and martyrs. So imagine the reward of someone who breaks the fast of several believers! I guarantee on behalf of Allah for such a person that they will not suffer poverty or disbelief.'”
This encourages generosity, charity, and communal gathering, emphasizing the great reward for doing good deeds on this day. This also includes acts of worship such as prayer and fasting. Many Shia Muslims also use this day to renew their allegiance to Imam Ali and the other Imams, recognizing their spiritual leadership.

"O' Shia of Zahra (س), why do we speak out against the killers of Hussain (ع) and yet remain silent about the killers of his mother?"
There's no good evidence anybody killed Sayeda Fatima. I know it might come as a shock if this is the narrative you had been brought up on, but going back to the topic of this thread, not only did they intermarry, children bore their names (even though i do think this is up for debate and i have argued against it being named after them), and even when he became Caliph, i have yet to find him publicly and openly declaring they had usurped him.  Nahjul Balagha sermon is not in my view, a reliable one. In my view, he was the rightful Caliph, he was the best after the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and he was the one to whom i believe the Prophet indicated and advised us to follow along with his Ahlulbayt.
But it does appear after a first 6 months of hostility towards Abu Bakr and Umar, he then favoured what was best for the Ummah over infighting.

I can speak - Urdu, Hindi, English, Gujarati, Marathi. 
I want to learn - Persian, Arabic. 

Well because we are the truth so obviously they will hate us. Can you see how much the west hate Islam? That is the exact the same thing Sunnis are doing, they hate us for no reason.
 
That’s something expected tho, what do you expect from the followers of Muawiya? 
 
Let them hate us, i’m proud they hate us because that’s the proof our sect is the correct sect. 

You should not laugh at our Imam's (عليه السلام) words considering your book is comic Bukhari.
