Beta thalassemia trait is not a disease. You just are a carrier of the disease. You should just ensure that you marry somebody who is NOT a carrier of Beta thalassemia to ensure that your offspring has NO chance to have thalassemia. However in the scenario that you do eventually end up marrying somebody who is a carrier, you should first contact the local Thalassemia control center or a Hematologist to discuss what are tge steps and procedures do follow in your pregnancy to ensure that you do not have an offspring affected with Thalassemia. There is nothing to get scared. Hope that helped.
