It’s ok to marry.
To term it has chronic hepatitis B his reports HBsAg/ HbeAg should be positive for 6/3 months or his HBV DNA levels should b high. So first get it tested then only we can term him as chronic hepatitis patient.
The chances of you getting after vaccination is low however u should keep a check on your anti HBsAg levels and also on his viral load.
