My mother side is Shyamsukha, my father is Baid and the boy who I am hoing to marry is Shyamsukha. Could be extended family can i marry
In Jain tradition, marriage is usually avoided only when there is a close blood relation or when the same gotra/kul lineage is considered too closely related by your samaj’s rules.
From what you wrote:
- Your father’s side: Baid
- Your mother’s side: Shyamsukha
- The boy’s family: Shyamsukha
So, being from the same surname/clan name alone does not automatically mean you are extended family. What matters is whether there is a direct family connection on your mother’s side to his family, or whether your community treats the same lineage as restricted for marriage.
Simple rule:
- If the boy is from the same distant clan name only, and there is no common ancestor / no close relation, it is usually considered acceptable in many communities.
- If there is a real family link through the maternal side, then it should not be done.
Best Jain approach:
- Check both family trees properly.
- Ask elders of both families.
- Follow your local Jain samaj’s marriage rules.
So, surname alone is not enough to say yes or no. The deciding factor is the actual family relationship and samaj custom.
