Inter-caste marriages, by breaking the norm of caste endogamy, challenge these rigid social boundaries. Sociologists like <strong>Andr\u00e9 B\u00e9teille and Louis Dumont<\/strong> have argued that such unions threaten established power hierarchies within Indian society. When state support for these marriages is withdrawn, it reinforces social exclusion and discourages the dismantling of traditional caste barriers, limiting social mobility and integration.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong> State Policy and Social Justice: <\/strong>State policies play a crucial role in advancing social justice and equity. The original intent behind the <strong>Inter-caste Marriage Support Scheme<\/strong> was preventive\u2014helping to integrate society by incentivizing progressive choices, rather than merely responding to incidents of caste-based violence. By merging this scheme with general atrocity prevention laws, the government shifts focus to reactive measures instead of proactive social integration. This undermines the spirit of affirmative action and dilutes the impact of targeted interventions needed for real change.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong> Family, Patriarchy, and Honour Killings: <\/strong>Inter-caste marriages often trigger patriarchal backlash and resistance from families obsessed with maintaining caste \u201c<strong>purity.\u201d<\/strong> This opposition can lead to extreme outcomes like honour killings, which remain a grim reality in many parts of India. The weakening or removal of state support and protection for inter-caste couples exposes them further to <strong>violence, harassment, and isolation<\/strong>.
