In many cases such Madhva - Smarta marriages happen in the non-scholarly
Madhva circles.  Orthodox Madhwas/scholars would not recommend/support such
a mix.  There is also this practice in some cases: A Madhva family would
take a Smarta girl as their daughter in law and she will (have to) conform
to their practices. But they would not give their daughters to the Smarta
family.

Most Smarthas also do not know of the Shankaracharya/Advaiti ninda in the
Madhva books. There is also the Raghavendra Swamy following among a very
large Smarta community. Again, they do not know of the antithesis:
Raghavendra Swamy has praised Madhvacharya as the one whose feet dust will
liberate Shiva, etc. And also the Shankara nindaa part.
