TITLE : INTERCASTE MARRIAGE- IMPLICATIONS OF SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE, THEORY AND RESEARCH

Abstract : Marriage in collectivist societies need to be looking at its contextual issues specially caste locations and caste relationships. Marriage is also seen to be a tool for social control as it is also inherently social and economic at the same time. Marriage norms are followed to protect property relations and to preserve the economic ties between families that enter into such alliances. Explaining marriage in an interdisciplinary context gives a clear view of need, importance, and role of marriage in life of the individual and how the institution is changing with changing times. This research paper gives a theoretical review of intercast marriage.
