Whether a person inherits caste of his father even in inter-caste marriage?

It is, thus, clear that in the customary Hindu
law, a person, in the absence of any statutory law,
would inherit his caste from father and not from his
mother, even in case of intercaste marriage. We are
fortified by the aforesaid Judgments of the Apex Court
that the documents from the maternal relatives, i.e.,
mother, grand-mother or the wife of the petitioner,
were not determinative of the caste status of the
petitioner.
