Legally the child acquires the caste of the father. Indian society is penitential society, as such the child acquires the caste of the father. The caste system is prevailing only in the Hindu religion followers. So, woman as soon as she marries, she is considered to join the Gothra of the husband. So, child acquires the lineage of father and his caste and not of the mother.
