Brief Answer:
can get married

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Since you are having High hemoglobin E+A2 and low haemoglobin A you need to avoid any partner having Beta thalassemia profile.

Your hamoglobin level is normal.

It should not cause any problem to get married and have kids later.

Hi
Since your haemoglobin a 2 is high you could be suffering from beta thalassemia.
I would advise you to do a haemoglobin electrophoresis test to rule out thalassemia.
