SSimple Google search gave me this result: [https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai/2021/Feb/13/inter-caste-couples-can-now-choose-kids-caste-2263339.html](https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai/2021/Feb/13/inter-caste-couples-can-now-choose-kids-caste-2263339.html)
At least in Tamil Nadu, intercaste couples can give either parents caste to their child. I’m sure other states would follow or already have such provisions in existence.
Sorry, was not opposing you. It’s just absurd that in 2025 a democratic country like India would consider father’s caste as the default. The only thing that does make sense is stripping you of reservation benefits if one of you is a “general” category.
SYou can’t force a patriarchy on someone. Lots of women (like myself) might choose to retain the caste of our birth, just like we don’t change our last names, or our gotras. Sure, if you pick out a random caste it might be a problem, however if it’s one of either parents birth it shouldn’t be.I would take offense if someone forced me to take on my husbands caste, last name or gotra. We have decided to not force either of our lineages on our kids as well. As in they inherit the customs and traditions from both sides. Also no father’s last name business.
SNot really. They have no way of checking. You can inherit whichever caste you like from either parent.SIf you are renting, leave and find a new place. Even if you get legal help and file a case, etc, with neighbors who hate your dog like that would you want to take a chance?They could have your dog killed (worst case) and you can do nothing. It’s many against one, and mob mentality exists.
Or they could get the cops to take your dog – worst!
Just move. Find a more supportive place to live. If you own the home, then you need legal advice. But please keep your dog safe, don’t trust these folks.
SIf there was no wedding, I don’t see what legal case you have. Isn’t it a good thing the wedding was cancelled?Your sisters reputation will be fine. If someone doesn’t want to marry her because she didn’t yield to pressure to make her family bankrupt, then good riddance to them. More power to her.
