"When a woman born in a scheduled caste or a scheduled tribe marries  to a person  belonging to  a forward  caste,  her  caste by birth does not change by virtue of the marriage. A person born as a member of a scheduled caste or a scheduled tribe has to suffer from  disadvantages,  disabilities  and  indignities  only  by  virtue  of        belonging   to   the   particular   caste   which   he   or   she   acquires  involuntarily on birth.

What if a sc girl marries a general boy?

The girl will be a candidate for general election. Her child would have a caste of Sc/ST. If the other way around, a SC/ST guy marries a general man then neither his child nor he gets any reservations.

In India, marriage between individuals of different castes or categories does not affect the reservation benefits available to individuals belonging to Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), or other reserved categories. Reservation benefits are primarily based on an individual's caste or category, and they are not automatically affected by marriage to someone from a different caste or category.
Here are the key points to understand:
  1. Reservation Benefits: Reservation benefits, such as those in education, employment, and other government schemes, are provided to individuals based on their caste or category as recognized by the government. These benefits are intended to uplift and provide opportunities to historically disadvantaged groups.
  2. Marriage Impact: Marriage between an SC girl and a General category boy, or any other inter-caste marriage, does not lead to the loss of SC status or the associated reservation benefits for the SC individual. Similarly, if a General category girl marries an SC boy, it does not grant her SC status or associated benefits.
  3. Continued Eligibility: SC individuals remain eligible for reservation benefits as long as they belong to the SC category as per their official caste certificate.
  4. Rights and Equality: Marriage between individuals of different castes or categories is a matter of personal choice and is protected as a fundamental right under the Indian Constitution. It does not affect an individual's rights and entitlements based on their caste or category.
It's important to note that specific eligibility criteria for reservation benefits may vary depending on the state and the nature of the benefit. Individuals seeking reservation benefits should always refer to the relevant government guidelines and consult with authorities if needed.
