Defination of intercaste/ religion marriages
Intercaste/religion marriage, traditionally called mixed marriage,
is marriage between partners professing different religions.
Intercaste/religion marriage typically connotes a marriage in which both partners remain adherents to their
distinct religion, and as such it is distinct from concepts of religious
conversion, religious assimilation, cultural assimilation, religious disaffiliation, and apostasy.
History….
From the time of Kings and Queens, caste system has been practiced.
In earlier days, it was customary to marry in the same castes. If
anyone dares to disobey the rules of the society, he was confined to
severe punishments.
Whole community was barred from keeping any relation with the
family where inter caste marriage had taken place.
Customs and religions practiced were so strict and merciless that
even sometimes the boy and girl were hacked to death by their own
family members due to the pressures from the society.
Indian attitude towards inter-caste/religion marriages
Indians had an orthodox mindset. They couldn't imagine
marriages beyond the same caste , community and
religion.
Marriages should be in same community and caste .
Who so ever dare for the inter-caste marriage face the
consequences in terms of violence, social boycott, family
boycott and death of the boys and girls ( honour killing).
Continue….
21th century, honour killing is still practiced
mostly in northern India.
SC/ST being the usual targets for atrocities[1].
A woman belonging to the SC /ST, marrying to
forward caste, is abused in the name of her caste
by a member of the public or by her husband/or
his relatives.
PROBLEMS ATTACHED…
The problem of caste system was so deep rooted that it took
years for the Indians to come out of that idea.
Even today also India is struggling to come out of this social
menace.
History reveals that efforts have been made by various social
reformers and individuals to make India free from the clutches
of caste system, untouchability and race discrimination.
Why rejected in india???
They fear of the social norms and social standing.
Loss of reputation.
The cultural difference- they believe that the couple will not be
able to settle down and religiously follow each other’s culture.
They believe that the children born out of the inter-caste marriage
will not be perfect.
Torture that the family and the couple has to face at the hands of
the society.
ill –effects of not approving intercaste/religion marriages…
Hampering the growth of the societyCreate fissures among different social groups
and castesPoses a threat to the national unityVarious love couples either end their life or
are killed
Various couples fell in love and are now paying a price for that.
1. Manoj, a dalit of Haryana, married Rimpy, of Saini community. A
panchayat in Haryana has issued a death fatwa of
sorts on the couple.
2. Megala 20 of thevar from village kattikulam ,madurai who was killed
by her parents.
3. Not just villages kuldeep singh (thakur) and monica(gujjar) married
under pollice protection 2006. Murdered in june.
4. Asha 18,sanjay kumar 24, who are living in hell.. They belong to
same village in haryana .
The Superfluous Belief
The set up of Indian caste system makes it clear that
“One is born into a caste and this cannot be undone even with the saat
pheras of sapt padi (Hindu marriage)”.
Today, in Indian society the inter caste marriages are mostly the part of the
city culture. The rural parts of the country still have a long way to go.
• In villages ofIndia, people prefer their children to marry in the same caste
and community; else they disown them.
• Though there have been numerous incidents of the wife attempting suicide
or being murdered, this has still not evaded the theory of caste system.
Is inter-caste marriage acceptable?

Steps to be taken…
• It is the responsibility of the younger generation to make their elders realize that the rigid caste system is morbid and has a dark future ahead.
The girl or boy should be introduced as a friend to the family and be allowed to earn their love and respect
The qualities of the person you love should be highlighted in front of the family members
Try and learn the customs of each other’s caste. This will enable you to earn the love of the family members
Try and show your family members how this kind of systems are obstructing the progress of the nation
Steps that have been already taken…
Government of India has made different laws to encourage inter-caste marriages
Social activists and groups are actively contributing to the create awareness among the people of the hazards of not accepting the inter-caste-marriages
Movies, plays, street plays, demonstrations, etc. have been used to demonstrate that inter-caste marriages should be allowed.
Government incentives….
1. Government of Maharashtra & punjab – Maharashtra n punjab
government has decided to gift Rs 50,000 to a couple opting for
inter-caste marriage on 2010.
2. Government of Uttar Pradesh- They give cash incentive and
interest-free loan to couples . Such couples may get interest-free
loan of upto Rs 15,000 .
3. Government of haryana- haryana Government offers 50,000
each for intercaste marriage.
Present scenarioNow people know that….
A successful marriage is not dependent on same caste and religion …..rather it depends on mutual understanding and compatibility.
Today, there are examples where two people from totally different background and lifestyle come together and spend their entire life happy with each other.
THANKS TO EDUCATION.
Various examples
1. SAROJINI NAIDU◦ In 1912, she got married◦ She got married at the age of

Marriages.. made in heaven!!…..murdered on earth!!!!
t is believed that this is the wish of god… When two people meet and their marriage is solemnized.
And Marriage is mostly dependent on true love and
feeling and once this is achieved, caste and religion all becomes secondary issues.
When God created men and women, he has not assigned any caste on them.So,how can the human beings divide God's created world into castes and communities
conclusionAs responsible citizen we need to encourage human rights of
each individual.
Human Rights not only includes basic rights, but it has a lot more to it. One of the most important aspects is ‘Right to Marriage’.
Marriage is one of the Human Right. Then, why we as individuals, society at large not able to digest and tolerate if a person, irrespective of his or her religion, caste, creed, state, language, nationality, gets married into a different religion, caste and creed.The right to choice of life-partner is a matter of one’s own decision. It is attached to the sentiments of a person
Thank you..!!!!
