    You CAN legally marry anyone you want... the problem is getting your families to accept it.

    This depends on what your family members think.. because sometimes they have reasons to oppose even if you belong to same caste but different subcaste. Just try questioning them casually and see what they say! All the best

    According to what has been widely published internationally... such legal restrictions pertaining to castes have been ended in India... but habits and old ways take longer to die.

    As I said... being able to do something legally doesn't mean it will be accepted or has to be. You asked if you could... and you can. Convincing the families is something YOU have to do. And trust me... THAT issue is common worldwide... and isn't caste related. It happens everyplace.
