Someone asked a similar question on TheMajlis Vol21No6:

Q. A Shaafi’ man married a Hanafi
woman. Does the woman have to
adopt the husband’s Math-hab?
A. The husband and wife should follow
their own respective Math-habs.
They should not compromise merely
to please one another. For example, if
the wife is Hanafi and the husband
Shaafi’, then he should exercise caution
and not compel her to cook such
food which is haraam in the Hanafi
Math-hab, e.g. lobsters, shrimps, etc.
He should not compel her to perform
Salaat in the Shaafi’ time when it is
not Hanafi time. Similarly, she
should not do anything which will
break his wudhu in terms of the
Shaafi’ Math-hab.
