Tenant is engaged after moving in. Fiancé has no credit

Any experience on this situation that you can share? 

My current tenant is engaged last month and want to put her fiancé on the lease. Her fiancé submitted the application. It was found no credit, no previous rental history, very short employment history. I am going to reject him. 

My question is: if later on my tenant gets married to her fiancé and asks to move in, can I reject this guy again?

You already have someone who you vetted, and they qualified; so it honestly shouldn't matter unless they have a criminal history.

Now you have two people to go after if they fall behind or damage the home, so you're more protected then you are currently after adding the fiance.
