Detailed explanation-1: -The inter-caste marriages in India have been gradually gaining acceptance due to increasing education, employment, middle-class economic background, and urbanisation. As of the 2011 census, 5.8% of the marriages in India were inter-caste marriages.
Detailed explanation-2: -However, couples with a more educated mother of the husband have a significantly higher probability of being in an inter caste marriage. One standard deviation increase in the years of education of the husband’s mother is associated with a 10.16% increase in the probability of inter caste marriage over the sample mean.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gita Chapter 2, Verse 3 "O Parth, it does not befit you to yield to this unmanliness. Give up such petty weakness of heart and arise, O vanquisher of enemies.” “Hence, in Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna has clearly supported inter caste marriages.”
Detailed explanation-4: -Inter caste marriage in India is banned with a belief that by getting into inter-caste marriage, the couples may get difficulties in settling down themselves with each other. They may also not be able to follow each other’s culture. It was also believed that children of inter-caste outcome are not perfect.
