Caste Certificate

Caste Certificate—The view expressed in paragraph 31 of the Valsamma judgment [(1996) 3 SCC 545] that in inter-caste marriage or in a marriage between a tribal and a non-tribal the woman gets transplanted into the family of her husband and takes her husband’s caste is clearly not in accord with the view expressed by the Constitution Bench of the Court in V.V. Giri v. Dippala Suri Dora and others, (1960) 1 SCR 426.
