People who are born into a caste were historically restricted in their choice of marriage.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Historically, people born into a particular caste were expected to marry within that caste, and inter-caste marriages were frowned upon or forbidden. In many traditional Hindu societies, caste determined one's social status and occupation, and therefore, marriage within one's caste was preferred. This has changed with modernization and increased education, but the practice of endogamy (marrying within one's social group) is still prevalent in certain communities.
