I am not sure it is allowed to marry non ismaili or not.

When I raised the question of polygamy, the Aga Khan said that his grandfather favoured monogamy and, as far as he knew, all Ismailis were now monogamous, as were most Moslem communities. "But remember," he added, "marriage is not a sacrament to a Moslem, it is a contract--though the contract may not be broken irresponsibly."
