Words that rhyme with Mari
The phonetic facts first: mari is two-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the tight /ษช/, and the line ends on an unbuttoned vowel. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. What rhymes with mari? The honest answer: the picked top sets below tell most of the story: perfect rhymes are not on the table, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five.

Why mari rhymes the way it does
Mari is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษช/, then it ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1288, assonance 5,602, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for mari tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
