Answer

Salaam brother Kashif.

I or no other person can answer that question. Knowledge of the future comes from Allah swt Alone and NO PERSON, even if they say they can- can tell the future. So I strongly advise you to stay away from 'imams' or 'molvis' or any person who offers to predict a marriage. Brother this is shirk (Associating partners with Allah) as you are saying that people can have this knowledge which only Allah swt has. I hope you truly understand this.

However the Prophet SAW recommended that we seek Allahs guidance before deciding on a matter by reciting the Istikhaarah dua. This is halal and recommended if done the correct way, according to the Sunnah of the Rasool SAW. By doing this you are trusting Allah to guide you to the best decision, as only He (Swt) knows what is good for you. Your sister should do istikhaarah herself and her potential spouse should also do it. If Allah knows the marriage is good for them He will make it easy for them. Please read the links on Istikhaarah VERY carefully and encourage your sister to do it.

Istikhara in the Light of the Sunnah

Power of Salat-ul-Istikhara

Salat Al-Istikhara in Arabic

Salat-al-Istikhara in Urdu

The Prayer of Need (Salat al-Hajah) or Istikhara?

Do not ask a sheikh or anyone else to do it. The person who needs it should do it. Also in future brother please stay away from getting advice from any person who wishes to know your familys names or date of births. In some cases people use these for magic.

Also make dua for your sister to get the best husband.
I pray that Allah swt grants her with a pious spouse
Ameen
