It is a fallacy, to put it mildly, foolish, to picture it correctly and fatal, to warn properly, to think, if not believe, that Inter-caste marriage will reduce the incidence of late marriages and without much hardship for our eligible bachelors will get their girls of choice.
Inter-caste marriage is a instant decision, taken autonomously, encrypted on personnel benefits and evolved upon so many experiences and expectations. It is a trespass attempted against the tradition and culture without any regard or regret.
The ‘other-caste’ girls are well aware and fully understand the complex, comprehensive rituals and spiritual compulsions of being a Brahmin daughter-in-Law. They know the sacrifices they have to make in food, dress and social habits. The bond and affection displayed in a typical middle class Brahmin house hold may look strange and irritating to a non-Brahmin bride on several occasions.
Despite and in spite of all the above deterrents, love marriages do happen between Brahmin boys and other girls, we agree. But exceptions never can be rules, nor could form as solutions. We should search the real reasons of late marriages and find a lasting solution for that menace at the earliest. But creating a bigger problem is not the way out.
