Inter-caste Marriage

Inter-caste marriage refers to a union between individuals from different castes within the caste system, which is a social hierarchy traditionally prevalent in India and some other cultures. This practice challenges deep-rooted social norms and prejudices regarding caste identity, often promoting social equality and integration. Despite growing acceptance, inter-caste marriages can still face opposition due to cultural traditions and family expectations. Advocates argue that such unions help break down caste barriers and foster a more inclusive society, while opponents may fear the loss of cultural identity and social stability.
