There is no discrimination whatsoever in Islam neither in this life nor in the hereafter. Every believer will get the reward of there good deeds equally. Obviously same good deed has different degrees of sincerity which will be reflected in the reward of it. There is no discrimination at all because of ethnic or family matters.

Husband must treat his wives equally no matter from what background they come from. The respect for Sayyida wife is must but it does not mean at all discriminating his other wife or ignoring justice in treating her. Practical justice in compulsory otherwise no permission to marry more than wife without practical justice between them.

The correct Hadeeth No. is 4384 in the book "Manla Yahdharuhul Faqeeh", Volume 3, Page 393 does not prohibit marriage between any Sayyeda with any non-Sayyed, as it is very clear in the next Hadeeth No. 4385, which clearly states that marriage between believers is permissible without the condition of being Sayyed or non-Sayyed. The Hadeeth number 4384 should be read completely, it states that the Prophet (peace be upon Him and his holy progeny) looked at the children of Ali and Jaffar and said: Our daughters are for our sons and our sons are for our daughters. It means that this narration was talking about the direct children of Imam Ali and his real brother Jaffar. The Proohet (SAWA) wanted the daughters of Jaffar Ibn AbiTalib (AS) to marry the sons of Imam Ali (AS) as it is narrated from Imam Al-Ridha (AS) in the book Fiqh Al-Richa

Our great Ulama have gone through all the authentic narrations from Ahlul Bayt (AS)  and gave clear verdict that marriage between Mo'min and Mo'mina is permissible without the condition of the caste. Our great Sayyid Ulama have given their daughters for marriage with non-Sayyed believers which is a practical evidence that it is permissible.

There is no shar'i requirement for a Seyid/Seyidah to marry a Seyidah/Seyid. This is a personal preference and a cultural practice. It is also something that has taken a lot of negative direction to it as well, because some good suitors are being rejected because they are "non-seyids". 

Many of our esteemed Maraji' and great scholars who were Seyids have married their daughters off to non-Seyids, and that itself is enough for us to break this wrong practice that some families insist on observing.

Not all of the names you mentioned in your question had really claimed Imamate,but it is a fact that some of the children or grandchildren of curtain imams did wrongly claim Imamate.The reasons behind that were mostly political and for gaining worldly benefits. All those who wrongly claimed Imamate had failed,despite the political and financial support from the rulers and governments of their times who were always interested and keen to create dispute between the followers of Ahlulbayt. Being a son or a grandson of the Infallible Imam does not mean that he is also an Infallible,we read in Quran how one of the sons of prophet Adam [AS] did kill his own brother. Al-madeena [5]. We also read in Quran about the son of prophet Noah who disobeyed Allah and his father.Hud[45]. It is worth mentioning that most of those sons of grand sons who did wrong have repented their mistakes.

Bismillah, 

Asalamu Alaykom, 

If her father prevented her from marrying a suitable believing man for no valid reason, his authority drops and she may marry without his permission. The father rejecting the boy for not 'being a sayed' isn't a valid reason. This practice is usually found in the indo-pak region and is due to Hindu caste system influence. All scholars permit marriage between sayed and non Sayeds. 
 

May Allah grant you success

It has become a social norm that green shawls and scarves are for Sayyids, so therefore if you are living in such a society, it would be best to stay within the social norms of that society.

There is no "sin" in rejecting a marriage proposal, and there is no "sin" in marrying a non-Sayyid. 

You must marry someone who, along with having the fundamental qualities of being religious and good akhlaq, but also compatible with you as well, and whether he is a Sayyid or not is irrelevant. 

And Allah knows best
