Best Answer

Under the Caste System there was a tremendous focus on preserving a social image of the family as a whole, and bettering one's reputation. Due to a fragile sense of shame, marrying under your caste was severely looked down upon, and because no one wants to live like a social exile, from family, neighbors, society, etc. it was essentially forbidden.

How the caste system ensured a stable social order in India?

Membership in a caste determined what jobs one could hold and whom one could marry. A social hierarchy developed in which some castes had more privileges that others. Castes provided many advantages, like not having to do the dirty work of the untouchables, like handling dead animals, as not everyone belonged to a caste. The order of castes could and did change frequently.


What are the four characteristics of caste?

Several characteristics distinguish a caste system. 1.The first is the tendency toward endogamy, meaning that people marry within the same caste exclusively. 2.Caste mobility is also extremely rare; one cannot transform from a laborer to a scholar except in very rare circumstances, for example. Higher castes traditionally hold all of the political power. 3.The castes may be divided further through language, culture, and economics. 4.Within a caste system, each member generally knows his or her place, and your social status is usually apparently to others as well.
