Detailed explanation-1: -The only essentials defined under section 5 of Hindu Marriage Act are: Monogamy[x]: This provision means that if any party has a living spouse at the time of marriage, then he/she cannot enter into the marriage.
Detailed explanation-2: -’Caste-discrimination is antithesis of basic religious principles’ According to the court, opposition to inter-caste marriages is the result of spiritual and religious ignorance “leading to behaviour in violation of constitutional mandate”.
Detailed explanation-3: -This is known as endogamy. Endogamous marriages are the ones that take place within a particular social group such as caste, clan, tribe, gotra, etc.
Detailed explanation-4: -However the institution of marriage within one’s own caste is strongly preferred, women are occasionally allowed to marry men of higher caste, with their children assuming their father’s status. If a Brahmin marries a Brahmin, then the child born will also be a Brahmin.
