Answer

In Jain tradition, I cannot say a definite yes or no from surnames alone.

Usually, marriage depends on:

• Your own gotra / lineage
• Her own gotra / lineage
• Whether there is any close family relation
• The customs followed by your Jain community and family

So, if she is Palawat, and her maternal side is Chhajed, that does not automatically mean marriage is forbidden. But if your own family and her family belong to the same gotra or prohibited lineage, then it may not be accepted in your tradition.

Explanation

In Jain communities, surname alone is not enough to decide marriage eligibility.

What matters is:

• the original lineage
• ancestral gotra
• maternal and paternal family connections
• community tradition

Some families strictly avoid marriage within the same gotra or near kinship line, while others follow community-specific customs.

Spiritual Understanding

Jain marriage customs are meant to maintain:

• purity of family line
• proper social order
• respect for lineage rules
• avoidance of close blood relation

So the decision should be taken carefully and respectfully, not only by surname, but by true family lineage.

Takeaway

Chhajed + Palawat does not by itself give a final answer. You need to verify:

• your gotra
• her gotra
• whether her maternal Chhajed line is considered related to your line

The safest approach is to consult your family elders or a knowledgeable Jain community elder before deciding.
