The caste and religion based discrimination are great obstacles to social developments and motivational progress in India. Marriage as a sacred institution binds the partners in a pious relation. Marriage within the caste endogamy is the general norm of Indian society. When we talk about marriages, which are Inter-caste and inter religious, it seems a taboo to most of the people. However, with the changing time things have changed considerably in the social world of the society. Inter-caste marriage became a part of social reality in the society. Customs and religious practices were so strict and merciless that even sometimes the boy and girl were hacked to death by their parents due to the pressure from their kith and kin and caste associations. We can see Inter-caste marriages taking place mostly in towns and cities. In the country side we have yet to go a long way to see the phenomena of inter-caste marriage becomes a reality. Inter-caste and inter religious marriages even among Pre-University College Students is still not considered in large scale.
