From what I understand, gerim are forbidden from shul membership, burial and kibudim such as an aliyah. Regardless of whether they want to marry a Syrian or not. It goes beyond marriage into an outright cherem on gerim. In Brooklyn, there are non Sy kehillos that adapted this takkana so they’d be accepted by the Syrian establishment.
