can a jain boy marry a Maratha girl?
From Jain dharma, there is no universal religious prohibition that a Jain boy cannot marry a Maratha girl.
In practice, it depends on:
- Family tradition
- Sect/community customs
- Mutual agreement about Jain values
- Respect for Ahimsa, vegetarian living, and religious practice
If both partners respect each other’s faith and the Jain boy wants to continue Jain discipline and values, the marriage is generally a social/family matter, not a strict Jain scriptural ban.
In short: Yes, it can happen, but acceptance may vary by family and community.
