As a side-note to my religious FAQ post, someone had apparently e-mailed Ayatollah Sistani as to whether it was permissible for a Shia woman to marry a Sunni. His advice:
"If there is fear of being mislead, it is not permissible."
See it here.
N.B.: Apparently, if you are a Shiite, playing chess is "absolutely forbidden."
As to why chess is forbidden: "When we do not know the reason behind the forbiddenness of an act, we are bound to obey in absolute obedience. There is a reason for it, but we do not know it and when we do not know it, it does not mean that we should not abide by it."
