If I'm right, this is what is happening in most of our homes.

Don't you guys think this is kind of an odd thing? A hurting thing especially if it a Love marriage? We know that this can't be literally stopped since this has uhmm I think the right word to be used here is '' TRADITION'' for us if I'm right?
And religion is a problem as well, it is like we can't marry a person from a different religion if we do so either we would be chased out of our house or even killed

We all know that this can't be stopped, maybe you guys would have an idea on how to prevent this or something like that, so it would be great if you guys could go on and share your thoughts!
That's the way the people wants the caste system to be in existence.
Your question is only specific for certain cast which are 'said' to be the high caste.
Caste slavery have been reduced in Sri Lanka to certain extent with the war. But in Tamil Nadu , it still exists in villages in a cruel manner. it should be noted that we were living with the cruel caste system before 1980 s and now it is ensuring it's existence by marriages. So mixed caste marriages are the only way to stop the survival of caste system . Our generation should realize that and make sure to end this barbaric system which is not at all suitable for humans.
