Detailed explanation-1: -The Supreme Court of India has also declared that inter-caste marriages are in the national interest and a unifying factor for the nation and there has never been a bar on inter-caste or inter-religion marriages in independent India.
Detailed explanation-2: -Endogamy is the cultural practice of mating-usually in the form of marriage-within a specific social group, religious denomination, caste, or ethnic group, rejecting those from others as unsuitable for marriage or other close interpersonal relationships.
Detailed explanation-3: -The caste system is hereditary, and the practice of marrying within the caste ensures that the hierarchy is perpetuated. Caste divisions have deep roots in history and Dalit men who have married women from upper castes have been killed. Marriages across caste or religion in India are uncommon.
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.
