Should I be truthful about my past to a prospective noble man who insists on honesty, even if it may lead to him rejecting me, or should I lie and marry him?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You don’t need to mention you past sins to any one but Allah Who is The only Forgiver. Disclosing your past sins to other than your Creator can harm you. Keep seeking forgiveness and pardon from Allah (SWT).

What should I do if I am marrying a Sunni girl who respects and understands the Ahlul Bait, and her Sunni community is requesting their own Alim to officiate the Nikah?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Sunni Shaikh can recite the Nikah because it is after all a Nikah contract recited by either Shia or Sunni or any one who knows Arabic properly.

The main point is to be sure that she will remain in the future respecting Ahlul Bayt (AS) and will teach your children the teachings of Ahlul Bayt (AS). You are responsible about the future if your children.

Is it permissible to seek a different Wali or allow the girl to make her own choice if the father opposes temporary marriage and is unwilling to consider it?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Wali of virgin girl is her real father or her paternal grand father. No one else can be Wali for virgin girl. If the father opposes a marriage with a comparable Momin for no valid reason, and the girl needs the marriage to protect herself from sin, then she can refer to her Marje' of Taqleed to seek his verdict in such situation.

Can a financially independent Syed girl who wants to marry a compatible boy to avoid sin proceed with the marriage if she is certain that her father will reject the proposal due to an invalid reason related to not being Syed?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Father is not allowed to reject his daughter's marriage with a compatible believer when she wants to save herself from sin, just because of a cultural reason which is never a condition in Sharia.

I advise her to contact her Marje’ of Taqleed to explain to him his situation and seek him guidance.

You can get the email address of the main Maraaje’ of Taqleed in the Internet.

Wassalam.
