| - Only if Byakuya let him enter the Kuchiki family. In Japan, when women of noble families get married, one of three things happen - assuming that she is marrying into a family of equal cast and power, she remains a "Hime" (princess) and she probably has a choice of which families princess she is considered. However, if her husband is from a lower cast or even a noble family of power prominence, IF the union is properly sanctioned, then her family would "adopt" her husband. Otherwise she would just be cast out.

Otherwise she would just be cast out. Of course not all princesses have that option. Up until recently, the imperial princess of Japan effectively left the royal family upon marriage. I believe they have changed that now and none of the current princesses will be striped of their titles upon marriage. But I am not a 100% sure. Anyway, the point is that Byakuya would have to allow Renji into the Kuchiki family and approve of Rukia's marriage. Otherwise, most likely, Rukia is the one who will lose her status as a Kuchiki Hime upon marriage.
