The answer

Your marriage to this girl does not contradict acceptance of God's decree. However, it is preferable for you to seek another woman who is not a carrier of the disease to avoid having children afflicted with it, as the probability of infection is 25% if both spouses are carriers. Ensuring the health of one's children is an important objective when choosing a wife.
