Re: Considering CASTE in marriages?
I dont think it should be a priority when considering rishtas etc, but i have seen elders discuss that "taur tareeqay, uthna baithna" is what defines each "caste" or culture...since these "castes" come from different cultures obviously..
when considering their childrens' life partners parents feel seeing eye to eye on issues, inlaws, rasams, even food preparation, daily habits, language,general way of thinking is crucial, since the couple will be dealing with them on a daily basis. Its another thing to impose some sort of a superiority complex into the proposals, which obviously is gunah. One shouldnt reject a perfect match solely on the basis of "zaat".
