The answer

The judiciary that most scholars deem forbidden for women to undertake is that of resolving disputes and issuing binding religious rulings. If a woman assumes this type of judicial role, she is disobedient and must abandon it, and she should be advised to do so. However, her disobedience in this matter does not preclude marrying her, as it has no effect on the validity of the marriage. Nevertheless, it is recommended to marry a woman of strong faith. If the judicial role she undertakes involves ruling by other than what Allah has revealed, then the matter is far more serious and could amount to disbelief that expels one from the faith.
