Marrying a boy who is lower in status than oneself
Question
Can a girl be married to a family who is lower in status than her family when the family of the boy and the boy are religious people? There is no matter of kufu in this?
Answer
If her parents are pleased with boy's Deen, Akhlaaq and mannerisms, then it is permissible for her to get married to him.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
