Intercast Marriages
This is a very sensitive topic.
I do not mean to hurt anyone’s feelings and emotions and also it is not directed to anyone.
Its just my view point which i thought i will share. Nothing personal with anyone. I respect all the parents,their children and their decisions.

Well I personally am not against inter cast marriages. WHY? I have heard that God is one (well people say so but when it comes to marriages they contradict their own statement). I do not say that you should intentionally choose your life partner belonging to a different religion. But love sees no religion. It just happens and the people who have been in love can only understand it. When we were kids we were taught that there should be no discrimination between people. All should be treated equally. But I don’t know why when it comes to marriage most of the parents are strictly against it. Yes ideally the situation according to most of the parents is that their son/daughter gets married with someone from the same caste. And there is nothing wrong in it. But if they fall in love with someone from a different caste then what is the problem? Now where have the principles gone which u taught us in our childhood? Did your child commit a blunder? No my dear parents. She/he just did what her/his heart told them to do. Yes I completely agree that parents are absolutely right but so are their children. What actually gives rise to a conflict between the two is the generation gap. And it will always remain there. It will be even between us and our children. But how do you handle this type of situation actually depends from person to person. Some just do not listen to their children and threat them to leave their love and marry someone of their choice. Some try to listen to the situation and then slowly and slowly try to mould their child to get out of it. Then there are some who accept the fact because they know that nothing can be done. So they happily accept their child’s decision. Some are with a

    Their choice to marry one another was a collective choice and also a third party which was the pastor at our church. Although it was a collective choice my mother still had a little doubt before they got married because my father had low self-esteem, signs of not being responsible and signs of being a cheater, which in the long run proved to be truthful. In addition to all of that, my mother was told by our pastor to move the wedding date up and he insured my mom that marrying my dad would be a perfect match for my mom so our pastor thought. As the years rode by my father’s hidden agendas came to the forefront. However with all that being said love did play a role in the marriage because my father had a good job, he fit my mother standard of physical appearance, and she felt that he deeply cared for her. As stated in the reading by Pasupathi that “it may seem obvious that different cultures will consider different criteria in mate selection” for example it says in India the criteria for marriage partners are multidimensional and includes: religion/horoscope matching, character, education, dowry, appearance, employment, caste/subcaste, geographic distance between families, financial status and lastly family status, tradition and reputation. When I asked my mother what criteria did her and my father base there alliance on she said it was her becoming pregnant, sex, how they made each other feel and the looks. They only had one criterion in common with India criteria, which was appearance. I honestly thought that my mother would have told me more characteristics that they based their alliance on but my mother said…

    Abortion is an eight-letter word that is determined by one’s self and not the public. No child asked to be in this world and they shouldn’t have to pay the ultimate punishment for their parent’s mistake. It’s no excuse as to why abortion should be okay, its plenty women in this world that want children but can’t bare them. Like my mawmaw always said, “You laid down and made that baby, so you’re going to stand up and raise it”.…

    How would it be like if you weren’t allowed to choose what happens to your future? Some women do not get the luxury of choosing for themselves due to some laws set and they do not get the option whatsoever. That should be different as women are the ones who carry the babies, not the ones who are voting against it. Even though the baby never had the chance to live life, women should have the right to choose what they want to do with their baby because it may be bad for the women herself to have to care of a baby, they may not be prepared for a baby, and we do not know their circumstances of the situation.…

    Since the beginning of time, there have been children born out of wedlock. When children are born out of wedlock it is still the responsibility of both parents to contribute to the needs of a child both ethically and legally. However that is not happening much of the time in today's world. When a child is not cared for by a parent, it "looks" bad on them to society. However since child support laws have been enacted, ethical reasons to take care of a child are now overpowered by legal reasons.…

    A baby should never come into the world unwanted. Having a child is an important decision that requires consideration, preparation, and planning. I believe it is a woman’s choice whether or not she has an abortion. I believe that if a woman is in a bad situation she should do what is best for her and the fetus and if that is getting an abortion that is their personal decision. I am pro-choice.…

    There is no reason why interracial couples cannot be happily married just like same race couples. The more society grows, the more interracial couples multiply. As interracial couples multiply, the more racial discrimination is present, which leads to marital failures.

    In her essay "The Evil Eye," Wanda Coleman explores society 's unacceptance of interracial marriages. Coleman explains what she goes through on a day to day basis dealing with the negativity of society towards her being an African American woman married to a Jewish Caucasian man. When talking about interracial marriage or even interracial dating, it can be a polemical subject. Interracial marriage is increasing in the United States since the US Supreme Court put a ban against them in 1967. It goes back in history why interracial marriage is frowned upon, religion, culture, dealing with race, and stereotypes. The price you have to pay dealing with race alone to this day has yet to stop, society are just stuck in its ways.…

    While intercultural and interethnic marriages are on the rise, what is the prevalence, proximity, availability, and acculturation that reflects exogamy within these ethnic groups. Although, intermarriage was unheard of many years ago, it has vastly grown amongst certain races; since the laws against miscegenation had originally emerged. “When people think about racial intermarriages, they generally assume that it’s between blacks and whites, however, this is a misconception” (Jones, ASID, IIDA, IDEC and Phyllis Sloan Allen, 2009, p. 101). This is because a majority of these racial ethnic intermarriages rank lower in Americans and Blacks than any other race where outer marriages are concerned. While there are many factors to the reasoning…
