May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Is it permissible for me to marry a girl whose beliefs I do not know, whether she holds correct beliefs or not? Because in my country, shirk (associating partners with Allah) is widespread in the worship of shrines?
Answer:
Do not marry a woman until you know about her in all matters, regarding her religion, her character, and so on. You must inquire about her and study her situation. Do not marry until you have verified her situation and gotten to know her. Yes.
