Each state has different laws with respect to whether or not a paroled felon can marry a federal inmate without being in violation of his or her parole. The best way to ascertain one's ability to do so legally would be as follows:
1. write the parole officer and the federal court warden about the request;
2. file a petition in the court where you were convicted seeking permission to marry and serve the petition upon the prosecution and the parole board. If the court grants the petition you would then have a court order allowing such.
3. the same petition needs to be filed by the inmate in the federal prison with the court.
