Hello all,

I’m a Brahmin planning to marry someone from the Shudra caste. Everyone involved is supportive, except for my uncle and aunt on my dad’s side, who are very orthodox. They aren’t directly opposing the marriage, but I can sense their judgment. This has left me feeling guilty about going against the birth-based Varna system, and I’m also concerned about feeling isolated from broader Brahmin events and communities in the future.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on the relevance of the birth-based Varna system today and how to reconcile these feelings.

Thank you.

The same consciousness pervades all. Please enjoy your wedding and the company of those who welcome you and your bride into their homes and hearts. Please do not bear any ill will on those who judge you. They are conditioned by their upbringing and their environment . Wishing you every happiness !

In our temporary existence on earth we finally leave everything behind when we shed our body.
No one comes with us.
So kindly lead a life that resonates with your heart and soul...its a temporary life after all.

Birth based Varna system has no relevance today. It is ordered by muhammad that muslims should fight against non believers till they accept Islam. Do you agree if any muslim did it today? The same is with birth based Varna system. If you wanna practice endogamy by marrying within your clan that may be not violent and somewhat relevant. But someone who wants to marry someone from other clan should be allowed to marry in my opinion. Even my girlfriend belongs to Shudra caste. In Vaishnavite scriptures it is mentioned that one shouldn't look at other who is wearing Vibuthi. I am sure no vaishnavite is taking this seriously. So we need to follow the same thought for birth based Varna system. Orthodox people may have different opinion.
