It is a marriage between a man of a lower caste and women of a higher caste.

But it is not usually permitted because of social inequality with caste discrimination passed from Bahrain in Hindu religion.

This kind of marriages are accepted in Hindu Vedas and were practiced from ancient times. But most of these marriages held with violence and blood shed between the lower caste man and the upper caste girls family members.

Also pratiloma kind of marriages are sometimes a gift/award/offer of girl given by upper caste persons to lower caste man. But these are very rare.

Good example of pratiloma lord Sree Krishna who born in a lower caste but married upper caste women.

The "marriage" between Antony and Cleopatra was more than likely an agreement between the two of them. They both tended to be dramatic to an extent. Remember that the word marriage means a uniting or a close union. In their case it meant the uniting of their political resolve against Octavian.The "marriage" between Antony and Cleopatra was more than likely an agreement between the two of them.
