What exactly do you mean ? are you asking about marriages in ancient India 1000 years back ? then it was allowed for anyone to marry any person of his/her choice.





There is a type of marriage practice in India (Hindus) that is called Vedic marriage and even this doesent stop inter-caste or inter-religious marriages, you only need to know the janam kundli of bride and groom.





Caste based marriages are more of a social development specifically coming out of status and financial as well as security needs. These evolved during the periods of turmoil when India was repeatedly under invasion and the Hindu social fabric was attacked and torn repeatedly.
what exactly do u want to know. WAS it illegal or IS it illegal.


if you are talking about the present time, it is not illegal. if you are talking about ancient times, then read the vedas.,
As far as I know LAW encourages inter-religious marriages.





Don't live upto the religion. Live upto what your HEART says.
caste was not a consideration . it is latter development of tribes.


in mahabharat arjun married dropadi disguised as brahaman and not as kshatriya.


The caste system was not from birth but as one developed . To enforce dynasty caste system was dubiously intruded.
