Question

I am in love with a ismaili girl for a long time and she is also agreed to believe in sunni practices but not agreed to accept it as her madhab. She needs to continue her practices after the marriage, but she promises that our children will not know anything abt ismailisim.

Answer

If the Agha Khani girl does not revert in belief and practise to the Ahlus sunnah Wal Jamaa, then it is not permissible to marry her.

The agreement, 'to believe in Sunni practices and not to accept it as her Madhab'. Furthermore, her need to continue Agha Khani practices does not constitute complete belief which is a requirement for the validity of the Nikah.
