Changing of caste from schedued caste to backwars class
18-Oct-2023 (In Civil Law)
Hello,
I am about to marry a person who was born to an intercaste married couple. His father belongs to SC, whereas his mother belong to bc and of my caste. So is there any chance to change our child's caste in future as of mine(BC) whereas my fiance belong to Sc as his father's.
In 2009, the Madras High Court ruled that a child born out of an inter-caste marriage was free to choose his or her caste from either parent. Justice A C Arumugaperumal Adityan, pointed out that as per a government order dated June 27, 1975, children born to parents, one of whom belongs to a scheduled caste, can choose to belong to the community of either parent.
In another judgment in 2012, Justices Aftab Alam and Ranjana Prakash Desai held that there was no “inflexible rule of general application” that in every case of inter-caste marriage in which the mother belonged to an SC/ST community, the child should take his father’s caste.
